A former Gateway Community College building on Sargent Drive may become home to the school’s automotive and transportation technology programs, according to city officials. The initial concept for reuse of the currently underutilized building would be a part of Gateway District, which is under the Long Wharf development plan to upgrade the city’s waterfront. The Connecticut State Colleges and Universities system is looking to use the space on Sargent Drive for its automotive needs for Gateway; the school’s North Haven campus currently houses those. The city is in the process of acquiring the space from the state. There was a bill recently introduced in the General Assembly (H.B. 5719) to transfer the parcel to New Haven for $1. CSCU last year received a bond authorization of $28 million for the automotive project, according to the system. It has undergone a preliminary design process.
