SCF Venice Science and Technology Building is a 8,913-square foot building that will house science labs to support SCF’s Science, Nursing, Technology, and Engineering programs, including 100 new student learning stations. This building will serve over 400 high school students through our dual-enrollment programs and SCF’s Venice Collegiate School. Additionally, over 1800 college students will utilize these learning stations in 1 or more of SCF’s 25 course offerings that require a lab, without the added burden of traveling 43+ miles to SCF’s Bradenton Campus.
The Science and Technology Building will house start-of-the-art laboratory equipment that will enhance the students experience, better preparing students to enter the workforce, or matriculate to a University. Currently, SCF Venice partners with UF with our Gator Engineering program which ensures enrollment at UF’s Engineering school after obtaining an associates from SCF. This project will increase these university partnerships and the decrease the cost of training SCF graduates as they enter the science, engineering, or healthcare workforces in Sarasota County.
State College of Florida has secured $2.4 million in state funding and committed another $1 million toward this project. Currently, there is a $1 million capital building effort to fundraise the remaining cost for construction of classrooms and collaborative learning spaces for the SCF Venice.
