were razed by Fall 1997 to build a four-story, 800-space parking garage for the
hospital. Building #271 was renovated by Shands for use as transplant patient
housing. In 2012, the remainder of old Schucht Village was razed to build
mechanical support facilities for Shands.
After many years of surveying students and researching the use of (or lack
of use of) landlines in residence halls and the growing reliance on cellphones
or other services like prepaid phones and computer phone service, Housing
administrators decided to remove landline phone service to student rooms in
residence halls Summer 2007. Landline phone service remains to staff rooms
and apartments and to graduate and family housing apartments. “House”
phones with free local phone service are provided in residence hall area office
locations. Staff continues to monitor technology and how students prefer to
receive communication and conduct business which has resulted in more online
services and mobile applications.
