HARTFORD, Conn., Sept. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Ideanomics
(formerly: Seven Stars Cloud Group, Inc.) (NASDAQ: SSC)
("Ideanomics" or the "Company"), a leading global fintech and asset
digitization services company focused on digital asset production
and distribution, is pleased to announce it has hired a prominent
Connecticut architectural firm
with significant West Hartford
experience to design its planned $283
million redevelopment of the former UConn campus on Asylum
Avenue.
Newman Architects, PC, whose experience includes major projects
at both Hall High School and Conard High
School in West Hartford,
has been hired for the planning and design of Fintech Village,
which will transform the 58-acre former UConn site into an open,
community-friendly campus for Ideanomics, a blockchain and
fintech-based company that plans to turn the site into its
technology and innovation hub. Fintech Village is expected to
create 330 jobs for West Hartford
and the area.
"It was essential to us that we hire an architectural firm with
a deep understanding of the town of West
Hartford and the needs of its residents. Established over 50
years ago, and with 145 design awards for working, living and
learning projects on campuses and in towns and cities, Newman
Architects' laudable work in renewing the town's two public high
schools, as well as their close ties to the town, make them the
ideal firm to transform our vision of Fintech Village into a
reality," Ideanomics Chief Operating Officer Alfred Poor said today. "Our fintech and
blockchain hub on the former UConn site will be accessible to the
West Hartford community – a campus
they will find open, inviting and aesthetically pleasing. Newman's
experience, talent and understanding of West Hartford will ensure that Fintech Village
is a vibrant addition to the town."
A. Brooks Fischer, a principal
with Newman Architects and well-known West Hartford resident, will be the lead
architect on the Fintech Village project.
"Ideanomics' Fintech Village will be a campus of new and
renovated buildings set in a landscape that emphasizes
sustainability and connection to the natural environment. Fintech
Village will be experienced as an extension of the public realm
with walking trails, a contemporary art gallery and other
community-oriented resources," Mr. Fischer said.
