2024 COAA-FL Tour & Happy Hour (Lakeland)

Florida Polytechnic University, the only institution in the State University System exclusively dedicated to STEM, is excited to showcase the construction of the Gary C. Wendt Engineering Building.  This 40,000-square-foot facility is designed to advance research and development through state-of-the-art labs, collaborative spaces, and faculty offices, providing support for a range of engineering disciplines.  An open courtyard will connect the new facility to the Barnett Applied Research Center, providing additional recreational space.  The building aligns with Florida Poly’s focus on engineering and applied sciences and complements the iconic Innovation, Science, and Technology building.

Join us for a hardhat tour of this impressive addition to the Florida Poly campus, followed by happy hour at Miller's Ale House!
