Our Story
Trinfo was founded in 1999 to address the digital divide by broadening access to the internet and tech skills for Trinity College’s neighbors.
Trinfo: Neighborhood Community Space, Computer Lab, and Garden
Trinfo is a community space at Trinity College that brings residents and organizational partners alongside Trinity students and faculty to build relationships around common activities and events. We provide document services, a tech help desk, a free community garden, and a computer donation program. To read more Trinfo-related stories and news, visit the CHER blog.
Trinfo is located at 1300 Broad St, Hartford, CT 06106. Our current hours are Mondays and Wednesdays, 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., and Fridays, 12:30 p.m.–4:30 p.m.
Despite Trinfo’s closure since the summer, we have been able to continue our programming either in the garden or in other locations around the Trinity College Campus. Throughout the closure, we held the Trinfo High School Programming at 70 Vernon, continued the Love Your Block activities at the Community Garden, supported community gardeners with access to the shed, held a Paint Night near the garden as part of the First-Six Weeks Programming with the Bantam Network, and lastly, moved the VITA Tax Clinic to 70 Vernon. We have had some challenges, but have persevered to continue the important community work that Trinfo is known for.
