WHAT: On April 6, students, faculty, and other Florida Hospital staff will watch the initial demolition of the old dormitory building and get ready for the opening of the new Campus Center that will be dedicated on April 19. In a special program highlight, a time capsule dated from 1953, when the building was the nursing department as well as a housing facility for students, will be opened to see what treasures from the past have been kept inside.
