Sarasota Branch Campus

The Sarasota campus is a spacious three-story building of approximately 43,000 square feet just off I-75 and University Parkway in the Lakewood Ranch district — with well-lit offices, classrooms, a spacious library, two computer labs, a student success lab, and two student lounges, surrounded by more than 20 acres bordered by Lake Osprey, a protected nature preserve and bird sanctuary.

With funding assistance from Florida Power & Light, the campus features two solar trees for electric-vehicle charging, rooftop solar panels, a wind turbine, and a solar teaching lab where students research the efficiency of different technologies in Florida’s unique climate. The city itself is a scene of eateries, theaters, boutiques, and artist enclaves across districts like Burns Court, Towles Court, and the Rosemary District.
