Notes	Built 1989. Project Description: The Gray Center complex was intended to provide the University with a visual and functional center. Its U-shape encloses an expansive ceremonial courtyard and provides dignity and tranquility to the campus. The Gray Center houses all of the University libraries under one roof. It also includes a conference center, a communications center, a student bookstore, production and graphic facilities, and the Museum of American Political Life. The building complex consists of low-rise structures with covered arcades running the length of the building's eastern facade. One step down from the arcade is the courtyard which has a ceremonial and aesthetic function. Project cost: $20.8 million. Project History: In the planning stages for eleven years, this project was named after Harry Jack Gray, who was a major financial contributor to the University. Mr. Gray was the former CEO for United Technologies. $6.5 million in federal funding was contributed to this project, largely through the efforts of U.S. Senator Lowell P. Weicker, Jr. The project was under construction for 31 months. Project Location: University of Hartford, West Hartford, CT. Size: 145,000 sq. ft. (3 wings with 1, 2 & 3 stories)
