Florida Gulf Coast University’s innovative structure is a three-story paradise for the entrepreneurial-minded. In addition to office space and classrooms, the privately funded facility includes the Incubator, with shared workspaces, private conference rooms for mentors to meet with students, computers, a camera and audio recording equipment, and product and app development software.

Aimed at helping students create products for their businesses, the Maker Space contains 3D printers, a laser cutter, and virtual reality development kits. Lucas Hall also features a media lab incorporating total lighting and sound control, backdrops, props, and cinema-quality audio-video equipment.
