SSE to have a new "home" on campus - the new Science & Engineering complex design. Watch this site for updates and photos as the new SSE home takes shape.
University of West Florida's new innovative home for the School of Science and Engineering will bring science to the forefront and boost interdisciplinary and collaborative learning. For many UWF students, the new building will be a haven for learning, with functional spaces throughout the building including open labs, technical support and advising areas which will create a type of 'one-stop shop' for students across all programs. Gaming labs, amphitheatre type classrooms, solar paneling to provide electricity for student projects, an Internet café, a 92-seat auditorium and a virtual reality center are just some of the features in the design for this four-story building, which will be composed of a rectangular and circular component adjoined by a glass atrium.
Seven programs and more than 950 students and 53 faculty and staff make up the School of Science and Engineering. Computer science, computer information science, electrical engineering, computer engineering, mathematics and statistics, physics and software engineering, will all reside in the new building. The next few years will be transition years for these programs, which are currently housed in different buildings throughout the campus. Classes are expected to be scheduled in the new facility in January of 2010.
