History comes to life at the Allen Lastinger Center for Florida History 📜

We're not just your favorite quiet study space – we also host classes, workshops, and talks. This spring, we hosted a speaker series with exciting talks about Florida history, culture, and art. Pictured here is Dr. J. Michael Francis (USF) during a lively presentation on Sir Drake's assault on St. Augustine. Keep an eye out for future learning opportunities in our space!

In 1974, when UNF was only 2 years old, campus construction was everywhere! These photos show work being done near buildings 1, 2 and 8. Do you recognize these locations?
