Our Setting & Facilities

Reading Time: 1 minute

It isn’t too frequent that you find a special education center for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities in such a beautiful and stimulating environment of higher learning, but the Gengras Center makes its home on the scenic 84-acre campus of University of Saint Joseph.

Located in West Hartford we are provided with an ideal location close to parks, historic facilities, museums and cultural centers, and centrally located among many strategic towns and cities. Our own campus building is designed for easy access and navigation, as is the rest of the campus which allows Gengras students to utilize university facilities and resources.

"I do feel that the Gengras Center WAS designed for my son's unique needs. If it was not for the knowledge, love and care that the Gengras Center has provided for him for the past 10 years my son would not have developed into the wonderful young man that he is today."

– Fran Ficocelli, Parent
