Yep! I hope they expand their downtown presence even more in the future. It seems like an ideal location to hold continuing education classes and the like. I've heard west-siders (understandably) complain about having to attend such classes at the University Center on the UNF campus. That is not a fun commute to make during rush hour if you work downtown.

It would be nice to see UNF grow overall for the betterment of the community which means more jobs, students coming to town, etc.

I really wish they would partner with FSCJ on their campus to create a downtown campus just as USF, UCF, FAU, and FIU have done with state colleges in their area.

Any idea where they may be looking?

Looks like the Barnett Building is the choice if a deal can be reached. Maybe the MBA or MSM programs too.

What a great partnership for both parties if it works out.

Love it.
