Blount Center
A Hub for Learning in Downtown Gainesville
The Charles L. Blount Center and Blount Hall serve as outreach and educational facilities in the heart of downtown Gainesville, and are close to the University of Florida, UF Innovate, CareerSource and East Gainesville. Located off the rails-to-trails bike path and on the RTS bus route, and only steps away from cafes, restaurants and UF, it is easy for any commuter to access this collaborative space in the art-filled historical heart of the city.
At Blount Center, you can take classes towards an A.A. degree, continue your education in Community or Continuing Education classes, or complete your GED. Blount Hall is home to the college's bachelor's, A.S. degree and certificate programs in Business Programs and Information Technology Education (ITE). The Center for Innovation and Economic Development (CIED) provides services for startup companies that drive the innovation economy in Gainesville.
