The Dr. Phillips Nursing Pavilion will unleash the potential of Knight nurses and UCF faculty experts to positively impact the health of our communities.
In January, UCF broke ground on the transformational Dr. Phillips Nursing Pavilion at Lake Nona. The new 90,000-square-foot home of the College of Nursing, which is anticipated to open in 2025-26, will help UCF graduate more highly qualified, compassionate nurses — creating a healthier and brighter future for the community and state.
The philanthropy-fueled project is supported through $43 million from the state of Florida and named in honor of Dr. Phillips Charities, which provided the lead $10 million gift.
Students and faculty will have access to everything from research labs to a state-of-the-art simulation center and a host of study spaces — providing unique opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and enhanced learning experiences.
“The Dr. Phillips Nursing Pavilion … will be a venue where great thinkers live, future nurses learn, and innovators and scholars work together to solve our world’s most pressing healthcare problems.”
— Mary Lou Sole, Dean of UCF College of Nursing
