Summary of progress made on the initiative to date:
Valencia @ Lake Nona will open the community in August 2010; an enrollment plan has been proposed
and is being reviewed. There will be a variety of courses offered for AA students; these courses included
Student Success, English, College Algebra, Chemistry, Biology, Psychology and Humanities. The proposed
capacity is approximately 679 seats and the courses will be offered in the afternoon and evening. These
courses will complement those being offered in the Collegiate Academy program at Lake Nona High
School.
Plans are underway for the development f the Master Plan for the Lake Nona Campus. A design team is
working with the city and the developer to determine how the campus will be placed on the property.
The college is purchasing 25 acres on Narcossee Road in South East Orlando. The Campus should consist
of buildings and 250, 000 square feet of academic space, eventually serving 8500 students. The first
building will be an 80,000 square foot academic facility.
Information about upcoming work on the initiative:
The college is in the process of closing on approximately 25 acres for a Southeast Campus located in
Lake Nona (expect to close on the land in June). The college is developing a campus facilities master
plan and academic plan. The college hopes to have the first building at the Lake Nona campus
completed for Fall 2012.
Once the enrollment plan is approved and implemented work will begin on staffing the plan and
meeting the budget requirements of the plan. The plan will be reviewed and adjusted each semester to
meet the growing demands of the Southeast community.
