Save UCONN's Faculty Row

Are you out of your minds demolishing these historic homes???

Another part of history and great architecture to be destroyed and not saved..not a good way to educate our younger generation to appreciate our history and the labor that it took to create it. Shame on UCONN!

Okay, UConn, knock it off. As a UConn alum, retiree, spouse, and mother of another alum, I am embarrassed to be associated with an institution with such a shallow vision of what a great university should be. Wiping out the past because beautiful, historical buildings (faculty row), institutions (Coop), and intellectual challenges (Democracy Now! on WHUS radio) just confirms my view of UConn becoming a sports crazed, all consuming corporate monster. Knock it off UConn!

Please do not destroy these houses.

No one would renovate old houses if it cost 1 million per house to do so. I live in a home built in 1720 so I have some knowledge in this area.

They are iconic. Very little remains of the old school, agricultural, quaint UConn. I was mortified that those reminders of that simpler time would be demolished

Character takes years to build and only a moment to lose. Save the structures because there is no replacing them once they are gone. They are a unique reminder of what UCONN was in years gone by.

We lived there for a year when my dad became head of the history department in 1969

Please save these wonderful examples of shingle-style homes. UConn seems hell-bent on destroying all of its history in the name of growth.

Save the historical reminders of UCONNs beginnings

Please slow your expansion, Your wanton disregard for the historic homes and buildings of Storrs and Mansfield has reached levels of absurdity, from Faculty Row to the old Training School at the Depot Campus. Improve the quality of your education with investment in teachers and upgrades to existing infrastructure before you knock down your next building.

Haven't you changed enough,,,taken enough?

Leave it the way it is! I don't like changes.

I grew up on the UCONN campus. My father's colleagues lived on faculty row and we spent many days and evenings there with the families that lived there. The houses are the essence of a close and historical community. The essence of where UCONN began. A community that forgets it's roots loses it's soul.

Preserve the history of Uconn. My great grandparents The Tenny's lived in rt 195 across from the mirror lake when 195 was dirt road. Grandma said that she used to slide across her front yard across 195 onto the lake. Her father designed many things on campus the water towers that have been torn down. Most memorable is the old Tenny House was the log house at the old skating rink where folks used to get their skates and warm up by the fireplace. Long gone now. The old rink gone too gram told me folks used to call it Noah's ark from the shape of the roof it was open on the sides. Any one remember it? My great grandmother was the first person to play the organ at the congregational church on the corner of 195 and north Eagleville rd. She also gave piano lessons at her home. Thankfully Uconn didn't tear down their old home and restored it. I drive by it every day. Please please let's preserve the history of Uconn what's wrong with that anyway? Next they will try to tear down the old yellow dairy barn.

save!

These buildings should be cherished as part of UConn's great history, not torn down. Not only are they historic places, but they are some of the few remaining architectural buildings that actually match, as UConn has become a hodge-podge of modern buildings that don't have any fit with other buildings on campus

Save the homes!

Faculty row houses estimates for renovation is vastly over bloated. Let's keep the park-like setting.

Lovely homes that complement the campus buildings perfectly. Please keep them.
