Building a Foundation for Student Success

 Since Florida Gulf Coast University opened in 1997, more than 95 buildings have been constructed.  We could not have done it without the vision and generosity of our benefactors.


FGCU strives to create a campus environment that fosters productive interactions and is aesthetically inspiring. To maintain high standards of teaching and to utilize leading-edge technologies requires state-of-the-art teaching facilities and equipment.
