Florida Southern College completes greenhouse and planetarium facility upgrades
Florida Southern College has completed the construction of a new horticulture complex and the renovation of its Miller Planetarium to bolster science education.
Florida Southern College marked a significant expansion of its science infrastructure on October 22 with the completion of the Ben and Missy Albritton Citrus and Horticulture Complex greenhouse and the rededication of the Miller Planetarium in Lakeland.
The new greenhouse facility is intended to provide expanded resources for citrus and horticulture research, aligning with the region's agricultural industry. The concurrent renovation of the Miller Planetarium upgrades the college's physical space for astronomy and physics instruction.
These additions are part of a broader campus investment strategy aimed at modernizing facilities to improve student learning outcomes. The project reflects the college's continued focus on integrating practical research facilities into its academic programs.
