Academic Addition Earns LEED Gold

Our Academic Building Addition has been certified LEED® Gold, placing it among the top one-third most sustainable buildings in Connecticut. Designed by Centerbrook Architects & Planners, the 12,800-square-foot building exceeded expectations with its sustainable features and achieved Gold after an initial projection of Silver. “Achieving LEED Gold certification underscores UConn’s strong commitment to sustainability,” said Thomas Trutter, associate vice president for campus planning, design and construction. “Not only is the addition a world class teaching facility that is comfortable and healthy for its occupants and encourages collaboration, it also minimizes its carbon footprint and operating costs for energy.”

First of Its Kind Pain Consortium

UConn Health, UConn Schools of Medicine and Nursing, and The Jackson Laboratory recently announced the creation of the Connecticut Pain Consortium, a translational pain research and education collaboration which is the first of its kind in the Connecticut medical community. The consortium will be led by Professor Dr. Reinhard Laubenbacher, a joint faculty member at UConn Health and JAX. “There is a clear need for more basic and translational research on human pain and pain management,” said Dr. Laubenbacher. “And, there is a critical unmet need for education and training of providers and patients. This is a great opportunity to deploy our capabilities in addiction and pain research together with our Connecticut partners in an exciting and much needed state-wide initiative.”
