The new UF Public Safety building will house the University of Florida Police Department (UFPD) departments. Currently, UFPD is housed in five separate buildings not originally designed for police department operations including a temporary triple-wide trailer structure, all located on the southeast corner of Museum Road and Newell Drive. Additionally, the UFPD Dispatch staff is housed in the adjacent Centrex Building. The University’s New Public Safety Building will accommodate all current and future operational needs, as well as serve as the main on-campus Shelter-in-Place facilities in the event of natural or manmade emergencies. The project will also include site work, new surface parking areas, and upgrades to underground utilities. Being a triple-accredited police agency, doing business, and serving the campus community in the digital age, the new UFPD building will be a state-of-the-art facility.
