According to RS&H's website, the FSCJ Institute for Food Safety will be a new three-story, steel frame, building will be situated on an existing 2.96-acre site on the downtown campus. The program includes two floors dedicated to the academic laboratories, the biotechnology program and a private commercial client which will be operating microbiology labs for food testing and analytical chemistry.

Does anyone know exactly where this building will be on FSCJ's campus?  Hopefully, its located along public street instead of the middle of a parking lot.

Florida State College at Jacksonville is biting into the multibillion-dollar food-testing market.
A year after the Institute for Food Safety opened at its downtown campus, the college has launched a campaign for private donations and gain state funding for a new three-story building.
The $14.4 million structure would contain bigger laboratories where the college’s corporate partner, Eurofins U.S., would test food for its clients while giving hands-on training to students.

If I understand correctly, the Institute is currently housed in the Advanced Technology Center. I'd expect the new building to go on the land immediately south of that, cornered by State and Pearl.
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?
