UCF on Jan. 12 will break ground on the Dr. Phillips Nursing Pavilion at its Lake Nona Academic Health Sciences Campus. The $68 million, 90,000-square-foot facility will allow UCF to graduate an additional 150 nurses per year than the roughly 260 it averages now by providing the college with more capacity.

Multiple private sector donors donated to the project, including $10 million from Dr. Phillips Charities, $5.5 million from the Helene Fuld Health Trust and $5 million each from health systems AdventHealth and Orlando Health. That comes as there is continued demand for new nurses in Florida.
