The campus wide beautification project is underway with many varieties of foliage and colorful flowers current being planted to brighten the community. The project is designed to enhance the campus landscaping and planting locations by providing a welcoming entry to campus and building entrances by providing increased beautification, year-round color and well designed and maintained landscaping.
The 2nd floor of the now VERTEX building (previously known as CAMID) will be expanded upon as many new areas for labs and work space will be added to provide space for many new exciting projects coming to the building.
The athletic fields have obtained new autonomous lawn mowers that will keep the fields’ grass down to a regulated state using the power of space satellites.
As part of an agreement with the NASA Kennedy Space Center Visitor Center, an optical telescope has been received and has been installed in a portable trailer. This telescope is able to be driven around campus for different events as well as other parts of the county to benefit the students of Florida Tech.
