Handel Center Campus

The seven-acre Handel Center campus is located at 35 Westbourne Parkway in Hartford and is home to The Hartt School’s Dance and Theatre Divisions, as well as the University’s Office of Institutional Advancement and the Office of Alumni Relations. The Mort and Irma Handel Performing Arts Center opened in 2008. It is a 56,000-square-foot facility that was converted from a 1920s Albert Kahn-designed auto distributorship into a 21st-century, state-of-the-art performance, rehearsal, and classroom space for dance and theatre students.

All dance classes for Dance Division students are held in the south wing of the Handel Performing Arts Center. Classes for Theatre Division majors are held in the north wing. The campus shuttle service runs between the Bloomfield Avenue campus and the Handel Center campus weekdays from 7 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
