Auditors: Building UConn Hartford campus cost $30M more than budgeted

Construction of University of Connecticut’s Hartford campus ran $30 million over budget, state auditors reported.
Nearly $30 million in construction cost overruns on the University of Connecticut’s Hartford campus topped a list of contracting issues that sparked criticism Tuesday from the state auditors’ office.
UConn’s new downtown Hartford campus, located in the former Hartford Times building, opened in August 2017 at a cost of $116.7 million, 34% greater than the project budget, Auditor John C. Geragosian wrote. 
Construction and renovations combined originally were priced at $87 million, and a guaranteed maximum price eventually was set at nearly $98 million. But after the university adjusted the contract 24 times, involving 283 construction-related changes, the price tag ballooned, according to the legislature’s fiscal watchdog agency, the audit reports.
