The Michigan consultants who prepared UConn's master plan for facilities will return to campus next week for two public hearings on preliminary plans for future construction on the Depot Campus, North Campus - the former UCEPI site off North Eagleville Road - and the area surrounding the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources.

The consultants, from Johnson, Johnson and Roy of Ann Arbor, Mich., will discuss the plans and seek input from students, staff and community members during open forums to be held at 6 p.m. today, Monday, Jan. 24, in Room 7 of the Merlin Bishop Center, and at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 25, in the ballroom of the Lewis B. Rome Commons, located in South Campus.

The team will incorporate comments and discussion from the hearings as they prepare their final plan for the three areas. That plan is expected to be completed by March.
