Save UCONN's Faculty Row

Spent 10 years at UConn, undergrad & grad. So much has changed. Please preserve this very significant landmark.

UConn is quick to lose its history... Sad. The old Yellow Dairy Barn has also been condemned - its future unknown. Once history is erased it's gone and forgotten. History is what made UConn what it is today... UConn should want to preserve it - not eliminate it. Creativity and ingenuity can put those buildings to good use.

As an alumna of UConn, preservation of its history is important to me. Surely, some creative use can be found for these houses!

I am a member of Sigma Chi and those buildings meant a great deal to my time at Uconn. They are also a reminder of the school's past and help to blend the old with the new. UCONN 90'

As a two time alum, I want to protect the historic value of our campus. These houses are a viable part of UConn's legacy. Keep them.

Once their gone they are never coming back. Save some thing that is UCONN beside a brick building.

I come from three generations that lived on campus at UConn. My grandparents and their children (including my mother) lived in almost all of the houses on Faculty row, at one time or another. Some of the buildings are gone already, along with several other original buildings of the Agricultural College. UConn needs to preserved its history. Be creative - use the buildings, incorporate the buildings, put them closer together and use them as a facade for a large building. Preserve all or part of them, please.

I was born in Faculty Row in 1940; be a shame to see it disappear.

Please save these historical homes.

You can never take back an historic house. it is just like land, they aren't making anymore!

So Not be so SHALLOW! 'moving along with the times' when it comes to architecture is always the WRONG move! Save the Historic houses! Multiple generations to come will appreciate you, rather than defile you.

Enough! Stop destroying UConn's history to become UCorp! Bigger and newer isn't always better. Too many undesirable changes have been made while increasing tuition and giving out raises! Enough!!

These buildings are a great sight for sore eyes when walking through campus that's filled with modern and mostly unsightly buildings. It always warmed my heart when walking past them, knowing the history that helped build the university.

I attended UConn '64-'70 and walked by these homes daily. They added a visual feeling of a neighborhood to what was otherwise a city or institutional look of the campus. A great link to history, these should be preserved and used for another century.

Why a school with such historical roots would "quietly" decide to tear down rather than repurpose these cottages is beyond me. If you wish to be an Ivy League school UConn, you would do better to set an example that you can think and remember where the ivy grows.

Class of 1974 These delightful houses are part of UConn's treasured heritage. Must you "pave paradise and put up a parking lot?"

The oasis of calm and beauty that these homes provide, in addition to the preservation of history, are important for allowing a sense of academia in community rather than just an industrial scale university. I grew up in Storrs and had friends who lived there. I lived in West Campus in college and loved that link to families and other generations rather than just students. Please preserve these homes.

I hope you can find some way to preserve these houses.

Luv these buildings.......the scale, the architectural style & details. Rare to find these days!

I lived in one of the houses when they were deemed sorority and fraternity houses. It was a great experience.
