The University of Florida Data Science and Information Technology Building will house 4 user groups: the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering, the College of Medicine, the College of Pharmacy and the Informatics Institute, which is part of UF Research.

A thoughtful design unites these departments through an open stairwell “spine” connecting the 7 floors of the building with informal gathering spaces. Department branding will adorn the landings of each level.
