UConn's Board of Trustees approved entering into a lease with Green Hub Development III LLC for approximately 26,300 square feet of space at 36 North Main St., in Waterbury. The space is part of the historic Odd Fellows Building and will allow UConn to expand its academic, research and administrative presence in Waterbury, according to Stephanie Reitz, a UConn spokeswoman. The university, Reitz said, would lease part of the building, which borders UConn's Waterbury campus, once it is renovated under a public-pri- vate partnership involving the city of Waterbury and Green Hub Development, which is controlled by Joseph Gramando. The building has six stories totaling about 36,300 square feet. It currently is in a state of disrepair and needs rehabilitation, according to Jeffrey P. Geoghegan, UConn's executive vice president for finance and chief financial officer.
