Storrs-Mansfield, Census-designated place in Tolland County, Connecticut.
Storrs-Mansfield is a census-designated place in Tolland County that developed around the University of Connecticut's main campus. The area contains residential neighborhoods mixed with university facilities, academic buildings, and green spaces that form the core of the community.
The community took shape in the 1880s when Charles and Augustus Storrs donated land and funds to establish what became the University of Connecticut. This donation sparked the growth of the area into an academic center and residential hub.
The population demographics reflect the university presence with seventy-six percent of residents between eighteen and twenty-four years of age.
The area can be reached by local bus services that connect to nearby towns and the greater Hartford region. The campus layout is pedestrian-friendly with parking areas available, making it easy to explore on foot or by car.
Slate magazine recognized Storrs as a location with minimal risk of natural disaster-related casualties following Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
