USF Sarasota-Manatee

The new Atala Hall marks a new chapter for what used to be a commuter school. Officials hope this will raise the profile of the tight-knit campus along Sarasota Bay.

The Manatee County school district partners with USF to offer intensive experiences in classrooms for education undergraduates — and it is one of the few programs in Florida to pay interns.

The plan was approved at a meeting of the Board of Trustees Finance Committee on Wednesday. University officials emphasize this plan is "very very preliminary."

The campus' new residence hall will house 200 students and offer three types of living accommodations.

Dormitory construction prompts a change in plan, and relocation to Sarasota National Cemetery.

Gov. Ron DeSantis vetoed more than $34 million for Sarasota County projects and plans in the state budget; $20 million of that was meant for a new nursing/STEM facility at the USF Sarasota-Manatee campus.

The Manatee County sheriff says he is angry over a likely hoax that was repeated on campuses around the state.

USFSM Regional Chancellor Karen Holbrook says the student center/residence hall will help the campus shed the moniker of being a "commuter college."

Ground would be broken on the USF Sarasota Manatee housing/student center no later than this October, with plans to open in fall of 2024.

Graduation ceremonies are scheduled for May 7-9 at Tropicana Field and will be held under COVID-19 guidelines.

President Steven Currall announced on Wednesday that USF is planning to fully reopen its three campuses this fall.
