PROJECT FACT SHEET - University of South Florida



PROJECT FACT SHEETUSF Polytechnic – Campus InfrastructureUSF Project Number 554USF POLYTECHNICLakeland, FloridaProfessional Services SelectionProject History:In 1978, the District Board of Trustees of Polk Community College (PCC) purchased the land on the current Winter Lake Road site for a Lakeland campus for PCC. The University of South Florida pursued a joint venture with PCC in the planning and development of a joint-use campus. On January 23, 1988, USF Lakeland (USFL), now known as USF Polytechnic, officially opened its doors as an academic center of USF in partnership with PCC. The Board of Regents of the State University System of Florida revised the definition of this USF center to a Type III Branch Campus (Rule 6C-8.009) on December 3, 1993. By the early 2000’s the Polk County Legislative delegation was poised to expand the programs and services offered by USFL and during the 2002 Legislative Session allocated $1 million for planning a new USFL campus. In November 2002, the USF Board of Trustees approved the issuing of a request for proposal for a new campus site, and in December 2002, a Land Acquisition Committee was appointed.Five proposals for campus sites were received in January, 2003 and were reviewed and evaluated over the next several months. In August, 2003, the USFL Campus Board accepted the Williams Company proposal which included a donation of a 530+ acre site at the intersection of Interstate 4 and the eastern terminus of the Polk Parkway.The development of the Campus Master Plan was guided by projections of enrollment increases and program development over the 10 year period 2005-2015. The academic programs consider the institution’s response to community and economic development needs, and establish or enhance programs in a direction of applied research in a polytechnic approach. In 2008, the State Legislature designated this campus as USF Polytechnic, creating the state’s first and only polytechnic institution.Project Description: The interdisciplinary USF Polytechnic – Campus Infrastructure includes development of the new 171 acre campus pending adoption of the 2010 Master Plan Update and will primarily provide the settings and backbone for multi-user interdisciplinary shared core facilities. The plan includes four miles of roadway, five miles of pedestrian pathway, five acres of parking, three acres of plazas, and a thirty eight acre water feature. Utilities include: sanitary sewer, storm water, potable water, chilled water, hot water, electrical power, site lighting, information technology and natural gas. Polytechnic ideals are strongly oriented toward interdisciplinary, collaborative relationships – between faculty members, support staff, student support, and others. The concept of a commons is strongly evocative of these interactions; the co-location and interweaving of faculty members across disciplines, for example, encourages and facilitates the dynamic exchange of ideas so critical for interdisciplinary efforts. The close physical proximity of faculty, staff and students creates a collection of “critical masses,” providing constant opportunities for productive interaction.The Campus Infrastructure is the realization of a multi-phased Master Plan which creates an integrated, fully-engaged university campus environment at a highly visible location on Interstate 4 midway along the 80 miles between the Tampa Bay and Orlando megalopolis areas. In addition to serving the needs of its tri-county service area, this university is intended to be a destination campus with a vibrant residential and campus life component. The USF Polytechnic – Campus Infrastructure Program will be available online beginning May 18, 2010 at poly.usf.edu/NewCampus.Project Selection Criteria:Selection of professional services teams for interview will be made on the basis of professional qualifications of the proposed design team, including experience and ability to meet the project requirements and goals and objectives of the USF Polytechnic’s Strategic Plan; past experience; award-winning design ability; volume of University of South Florida work (regardless of the contract entity at the University or funding source); and distance from project. The distance factor for this project will provide a maximum of one point difference in scoring for location between in-state and out-of-state applicants. As part of the University of South Florida’s Strategic Plan, the university made a commitment to foster a diverse community distinguished by a shared purpose, collaboration, open and timely communication, mutual respect, trust, and inclusiveness.
