Prefab Building on Florida Polytechnic Campus Recommended

The structure would serve facilities functions eventually. (PROVIDED TO THE LEDGER)

LAKELAND | As Florida Polytechnic University gears up for a fall 2014 opening, administrators and staff have been working out of office space on South Florida Avenue.

But when prospective students and parents come calling, they will want to see the future site of the state's 12th university.

By mid-November, a premanufactured building should be on site to house about a dozen university employees to allow them to operate before permanent space is ready. Others will remain at the 1 Poly Place address on South Florida Avenue.

The university's Operations Committee met via conference call Monday and voted on the premanufactured building option. The committee will recommend the full board approve $1.169 million for the building.

They also heard about modular trailers and conventional construction, but the premanufactured option was chosen for several reasons, including the fact that it can be used by the facilities staff later, so most of the cost will not go to waste. It will be set up next to a campus control center for that purpose.

Contractor Pete Karamitsanis, president of Lighthouse Advisors, said the building should be ready to be occupied by mid-Novem?ber.

The concept of setting up the recruiting space is similar to that of a model home at a construction site. The approximately 5,000-square-foot building will give students and parents an idea of what the Florida Poly experience will be like.

"We are actually setting up a classroom because we won't be able to show students classrooms for a long time," said Admissions Director Scott Rhodes.

The classroom area will be divided into four sections and include a laboratory setting and a typical classroom.

The building will provide space for group presentations, conference rooms, private meeting rooms and office space for recruiters and financial aid counselors.

The staff wants the structure to present an appropriate public "face" for the univer?sity.

"A steel structure will communicate permanency, which we believe is critical at this juncture to selling the total Florida Polytechnic first-year student experience," Rhodes said.

Brochures, information on a website and videos might show prospective students a bit of what it will be like there, but an on-site setup will serve as a more informative way to describe Florida Poly, he said.

"Florida Polytechnic University is selling a completely new type of 21st-century college experience," he said. "So while you're selling the future and a dream, you are still selling a college experience. Therefore, it's critical that the experience be as real as possible and help prospective families visualize what they are choosing: Florida Polytechnic University.

The budget includes $919,302 for a total projected cost for the building, including $670,000 for construction and additional funds for setting up parking lots and land?scaping.

About $50,000 is budgeted for golf carts to transport people on tours. Another $100,000 is included for furnishings and electronic equipment, but Rhodes and others will be using a lot of furnishings the university inherited from the University of South Florida Polytechnic.

Nike+ Running iOS update adds social challenges, trash talk

Sometimes you need a little extra encouragement to hit the trail. The latest update to Nike+ Running for iOS should give you that friend-based push to lace up when you're feeling particularly lazy. Social competitions make up most of what's new in version 4.3, bringing in the same functionality between the app and its Nike+ FuelBand counterpart. To start a challenge, simply set a distance, a duration and invite your buddies. From there, group chats allow for motivation (read: trash talk) and checking in on your temporary frenemies' progress. Each time you clown your pals, you'll earn a medal. Like Nike+ Fuel, what those are good for is anyone's guess. After you're done topping the leaderboards, sprint to Distro's latest issue for an inside look at the swoosh company's Accelerator startup program.

Android 4.3 brings 1080p Netflix streaming

After revealing Google's new Nexus 7, Director of Product Management Hugo Barra revealed that the company has teamed up with Netflix to bring higher resolution video streams to compatible devices, a feature you'll only enjoy on devices running the just-announced Android 4.3. Yep, Netflix will now run at 1080p resolution, with the video-streaming company one of the first to use the new set of DRM APIs announced in tandem with this latest OS release. Unfortunately, of course, you'll just have to wait for that pesky OTA update before you can try it.

Rosemarie DeWitt Joins Poltergeist

EXCLUSIVE: Rosemarie DeWitt is the choice to play the female lead in Poltergeist, the new installment of the Tobe Hooper-directed horror classic that will be made by MGM and Fox 2000, with Gil Kenan directing a script by David Lindsay-Abaire. They are looking to cast the male lead. Jobeth Williams and Craig T. Nelson were the original parents whose ideal family life is uprooted by a cavalcade of spirits that culminates in the kidnap of their youngest daughter. Given how well these fright films are faring against studio product lately, this one seems ripe for remaking and I?m surprised someone didn?t reheat the 31-year old film sooner. Sam Raimi and Nathan Kahane are producing. DeWitt is coming off Promised Land and Your Sister?s Sister, and is currently starring in Kill The Messenger with Jeremy Renner for Focus Features.? She?ll next be seen in the Lynn Shelton-directed Touchy Feely and is repped by CAA and Wishlab.
