The 90,000+ square foot Applied Research Center (ARC) houses research and teaching laboratories, student design spaces, conference rooms, and faculty offices. The building also provides study areas for graduate students and a small amount of administrative space.
A dedicated section of the center assists with commercialization of innovation and applied research and sending new inventions into the marketplace.
The two-story building is located on the northwest side of campus adjacent to the Innovation, Science, and Technology Building and is visible from Interstate 4 (I-4).
The ARC is Florida Poly’s second academic building. It was designed by the architecture firm HOK with the goal of creating a dynamic, functional, and flexible space that will promote research growth, entrepreneurship, collaboration, and connectivity.
