Given the current circumstances surrounding COVID-19 and the directive from both Governor Lamont and President Katsouleas to practice social distancing and limit large group interaction, the University’s Public Surplus Store is cancelled until further notice.

We will reopen the Public Store once it is safe to do so. In the meantime, please feel free to check our website https://surplus.ubs.uconn.edu/ for updates.
