Construction on the new state-of-the-art facility that will house the Judy Genshaft Honors College is well under way. This five-story, 85,000-square-foot facility is being built along ¹ú²ú¶ÌÊÓƵGenshaft Drive, and began construction in December of 2020. 

The new facility will provide a number of benefits to honors college students and the ¹ú²ú¶ÌÊÓƵcommunity. The facility will include interwoven spaces for classrooms, offices, study areas, and studios to expand and enhance students’ educational opportunities. The event space and gallery are venues to engage the Tampa Bay community with lectures, shows, meetings, and events. The facility also provides welcoming and engaging spaces for the community, such as the interior atrium, café, and covered terrace. 

Some unique design features of the facilities include Cantilevered Learning Lofts in the Atrium for students to study, relax, interact, and collaborate. The stairway to the second level terrace also serves as an Outdoor Amphitheatre for learning, leisure, and social interactions.
