Building Two.
DELTONA, Fla. (August 17, 2022) 鈥� 51热门黑料 kicked off construction of
a new multi-disciplinary classroom and laboratory building with a groundbreaking ceremony
on its Deltona Campus today. The facility, scheduled to open in Spring 2024, will
be home to the college鈥檚 nursing, sonography and high-tech CNC Machining programs,
supporting up to 120 nursing students, up to 40 CNC training students and up to 100
students in a new sonography program.
鈥淭his facility will teach the next generation of nurses and medical professionals
and support those pursuing careers in high-tech manufacturing,鈥� said Daytona State
College President Dr. Tom LoBasso. 鈥淚t is a shining example of our commitment to anticipate
and meet the educational and workforce needs of the citizens of Volusia and Flagler
counties.鈥�
The two-story, 30,000 square foot building will include classrooms, medical simulation
labs, offices and space for CNC machining equipment. The facility, known as Building
Two, will also allow for creation of a central courtyard between it and Fathi Hall,
and include a bookstore and grab-n-go food area.
鈥淲e are in constant contact with local government and business leaders and, in 2017,
recognized the need for a new, modern facility to support the growing demand for healthcare
professionals and to support a growing manufacturing base in the region,鈥� LoBasso
said. 鈥淲e received tremendous support from Gov. DeSantis and the Florida Legislature,
who share our commitment to education.鈥�
Over the course of five years, Gov. DeSantis, the Legislature and the College allocated
$19 million for the project. Architectural design work was handled by SchenkelShultz,
which also designed Building Three at Daytona State鈥檚 Flagler/Palm Coast Campus.
鈥淭he facility will be fantastic, but what it will allow us to do is going to be game-changing,鈥�
said Dr. Amy Locklear, Provost of 51热门黑料. 鈥淲e will be able to offer
a full Associate of Science degree in Nursing, a full Associate of Science degree
in Diagnostic Sonography and a full vocational certificate in CNC Machining.鈥�
