Welcome to “In the Park” — a news page!
This page will change over time and eventually be interactive. Once that happens we can talk to each other and make this Park an even more terrific place to work! Use the RSS feed to know when we’ve posted new items.
Welcome Our Newest Park Companies!
Webster Veterinary Supply has moved into the Progress Two building. SAGE Healthcare Division R&D has moved all 170 employees into Progress Three! We now have nearly 1200 people working in the Park.
What’s Happening Across the Street??
Santa Fe College is building an Alachua campus that will be home to both 2 yr and 4 yr biotechnology degree programs (plus some general education classes). This satellite center was made possible through the coordination and generosity of Charles and Nancy Perry, the University of Florida Foundation, and the City of Alachua, as well as nearly 100 other donors. They’ll open for students in the Fall of 2009.
When is the next big Park event?
The local BioFlorida chapter is holding its 6th Annual Celebration of Biotechnology from 11:00 am-1:30 pm on Tuesday, May 12th in tents next to RTI Biologics. Last year 400 people participated with 60+ vendor tables targeting scientific research personnel and others in the bioscience industry. Lunch is included. Cost is $7 for BioFlorida members and $12 for others. Anyone can attend. Eighty-five percent of the people working in the Park are employed by a bioscience or technology company.
