John Jarvis, campus planner for University of West Florida’s first 30 years, will sign copies of his book, The Next Larger Picture, April 3 from noon to 2 p.m. at the Festival on the Green information tent.

“Reading John Jarvis’s stories is like an architect’s pleasant challenge of creating a new campus for a new university in the piney woods of West Florida. His humor threads powerfully through these pages as he charts his vital role in the design of the Riverview campus for the University of West Florida,” writes J. Earle Bowden, editor emeritus of the Pensacola News Journal.

The recently published book details his career and the architectural and planning history of the campus. The 218-page color book in soft cover retails for $34.95. For more information call Connie Marse, 474-2433.
