USF Has New Logo for Polk Campus

Recent decisions to brand the new Polk County USF Campus with the “Polytechnic” term were followed by the release today of a new logo for the facility shown below in the horizontal format.

The campus received preliminary funding from the legislature this year and, to date, the Central Florida Development Council, City of Lakeland and Lakeland Regional Medical Center have announced approximately $10.5 million in additional support. The campus will be Florida’s first polytechnic center within the state university system. Considering this focus it seems reasonable to expect that industry looking for graduates from this curriculum will seek to locate in this area.

USF Polytechnic should serve as an exciting new addition to Florida’s public university system and wonderful asset to Polk and Central Florida. We look forward to the Phase I ribbon cutting and welcome the development of this outstanding new educational asset.
