Welcome
The Charles L. Blount Center, in the heart of downtown Gainesville, serves as an outreach and educational facility. This urban hub is ideally located near the University of Florida, UF Innovate, CareerSource and East Gainesville. Located off the rails to trails bike path, and only steps away from cafes, restaurants and UF, the Blount Center makes it easy to bike to class in the art-filled historical heart of the city.
Here you can take classes towards an A.A. degree, continue your education in Community or Continuing Education classes, or complete your GED. The learning lab provides space for students to work on assignments, meet with writing and math tutors or schedule a proctored exam for an online class. The Center for Innovation and Economic Development (CIED) provides services for startup companies that drive the innovation economy in Gainesville.
