This property will serve as UF’s front door in the nation’s capital: a place where students can learn and grow through academic programs and professional development, where faculty can share their research with Congress and federal agencies, and where the university can convene leaders from government, public service and the private sector.
A gift from Brian and Kathryn Ballard valued at $4.25 million will establish a permanent home in Washington, D.C., for Gator students, faculty and university leaders.
