Transition #24

Hartford, CT, USA

"In 1972, Hartford Seminary gave up its role as a traditional residential divinity school and established itself as an interdenominational theological center. To accommodate its changed needs, the Seminary decided to sell its campus and build a single structure that would house all of its activities and at the same time project a new image of scholarship and service...

Post-modern architect Richard Meier was selected by the Board of Trustees to design the new home for Hartford Seminary. Construction began in 1978 with completion in 1981." From the Hartford Theological seminary site.

The old campus is across the street and is now the home of The University of Connecticut School
of Law. Here is a photo of the Law Library, one of a number of buildings that are on the campus.

Cool building but a little too modern for my tastes. I'm glad that they have a tree growing in what looks like a courtyard. The lines, composition and exposure are spot on. Great shot of this place and thanks for the history! V

Quite a contrast from the Gothic architecture across the street. Very nice perspective and clarity in this image. "V"
