As with all State Universities, “public” does not mean that all areas are open to the general public. There are some areas where access by the general public is permitted, and in many cases, encouraged. On the other hand, classrooms, laboratories, academic offices, and other academic and research venues are not open to the general public but are for the most part limited to the use of faculty, staff, students, and invited guests who have business related to the mission of USFSP.
When a building contains areas that are designated as open to the general public, access is typically limited to those areas and only during specified hours. Unless otherwise posted, most public access areas are accessible by the general public during normal business hours (Monday through Friday from 8:00 am - 5:00 pm). There are some exceptions to this policy such as special events.
