Patrons will pay to exit either at the gate with a credit card, or with cash or a credit card at the pay station located in the lobby adjacent to the first floor elevator.

The new “downtown” opened this month.

Storrs Automotive, Select Physical Therapy, Travel Planners, Skora’s Barber Styling Shop, Body Language and Subway have all opened in their new locations.

Residents of the first 127 apartments of The Oaks on the Square also have moved in – many of them UConn students.

Additional businesses have signed agreements to become tenants, including PriceChopper, 7-11, and medical offices for the UConn Health Center.
