Central occupies more than 126 acres in suburban New Britain, Connecticut, just minutes from the state capital of Hartford and approximately two hours from New York City and Boston. New and renovated buildings add to the classic collegiate style of the campus' architecture, and safe, accessible walkways provide easy passage to our facilities. Common green spaces, new and mature trees, and meticulous landscaping set the scene for relaxing strolls and other recreational activities. Ongoing renovations will ensure Central continues to be one of the most attractive, convenient, and modern campus.
