Florida Tech’s last campaign was a transformational one for facilities.
Thanks to the generosity of the F.W. Olin Foundation, new state-of-the-art facilities for engineering, life sciences, physics and chemistry dot the landscape of south campus. A donation from Florida Tech trustee Charles Clemente made possible the recreation center that bears his name and the name of his late wife, Ruth.
These four buildings, along with the baseball, softball and soccer complex at the southern end of campus, dramatically changed the character of Florida Tech’s physical campus. Now, more changes are in the offing with the Golden Anniversary Campaign.
Thomas G. Fox, senior vice president for advancement, said these four buildings raised the standard for construction on campus.
“The Golden Anniversary Campaign will generate bricks and mortar projects that will allow us to build on the infrastructure created by the F.W. Olin gifts,” said Fox. “The new facilities we have planned for this campaign will lead to more research funding and help the university attract the best and brightest students and faculty.” (Continued) |
