The UConn Hartford CoLab is a collaborative space that connects the university with the Greater Hartford community to support meaningful partnerships and projects focused on addressing systemic challenges and advancing solutions to real-world issues.

We bring together students, faculty, staff, and community members to create positive change through hands-on experiences, including events, research, and community partnerships.

The CoLab puts the community first by listening to its priorities creating a space where people can share their voices, build relationships, and work together in ways that are mutually beneficial. As the CoLab continues to grow, it aims to expand opportunities for involvement and strengthen connections throughout Hartford and beyond.

Hours Coming Soon


 

Join us at an open Community Conversation on June 4th to share your hopes, ideas, and suggestions for what YOU want to see from the CoLab. We will follow up with another listening session in Fall 2026 to reflect on what we've learned and to plan further collaborations.

If you can't make our June 4th event, we still want to hear from you!
Email us your ideas at colab@uconn.edu.
