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 USF Genshaft Drive, and began construction in December of 2020.
The new facility will provide a number of benefits to honors college students and the USF community. 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.
The Honors College is scheduled for completion in February of 2023.
Construction is currently focused on the structural frame & limited MEP infrastructure, as well as the building envelope. Students are encouraged to learn more about this project, and other ongoing construction projects, by signing up for sessions with Design and Construction's AEC experience program.
