We did the tour Wayne. I had one of the first home computers you could buy. I've never told to many people that I've been addicted to computers and computer games for years. It was considered a kids toy and a wast of time but that was then and this is now and all that's changed here's a multimillion dollar school just for us geeks. One classroom houses a 10 tera FLOP IBM supper computer another 50 hi tech 3D printers that are already producing products. The first fall semester starts next week so the whole school is in this rush to get things done. The lower level classrooms are all equipped with the latest technology and these rooms rap around the modern structure as you walk the halls. Upstairs in the center of this structure is a large open library lighted under these moving dorsal fin looking panels that adjust with the sun. Located around this large area are all the small class front offices for the school faculty, if you need to fined your professor it would be hard for him to hide form you in his all glass office. The school will not be accredited for some time, this means normal tuition funding will not apply so to get around this the school is backing the first 500 student loans 100 percent for the first four years of tuition's and 70 percent the next year until the first master's graduate which is need for accreditation.

Some see this as a boondoggle. From Wikipedia:<P>The institution's backers, most prominently Florida State Senator JD Alexander, initiated a secret campaign to break USF Polytechnic away from USF (University of Southern Florida) and form an independent university. In 2011, Alexander forced a 2012-13 state budget that took from USF their $33 million budget for the move.[4][5] Like the acquisition of the new campus, the proposed split was controversial in some quarters, as it came during a tight budget year and was unpopular with USF students and faculty.<P> In response to Alexander's proposal, the Florida Board of Governors approved a multi-year plan to allow Florida Polytechnic to gain independence gradually once it met certain criteria, including accreditation, the construction of residence halls, and the development of a STEM curriculum.[7] Displeased with the Board's compromise, Alexander introduced a new budget for the state universities that included immediate independence from USF Polytechnic, effectively bypassing the Board of Governors.[8] On April 20, 2012, Governor Rick Scott signed into law Alexander's budget for the State University System, including the provision that created Florida Polytechnic University as an independent institution, and closed down USF Polytechnic.Many Floridians, including bestselling author Carl Hiassen, see the creation of the university as a poor use of taxpayer money, believing that Alexander led creation of the university mainly to support his personal legacy.<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML.

Academic skullduggery! That's a fascinating story about a few guys stealing a college from one university and turning it into a stand-alone university.<br /><br />The new building is a gorgeous Cathedral of Geek Cheek.<br />

My son graduates high school in 2 years and this school is just over an hour from home. He's tech <br />oriented but I'm skeptical about flash over substance. We got burned by the Florida 'IB' program, which <br />is a scam to boost underperforming schools' grades in Florida by placing high academic students in <br />them under the guise of college credit. We won't get fooled again...
