THE UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA & SODEXO (Florida, United States)<br />

The University turns toward the future<br />

Founded in 1933, the University of Tampa currently has 5,300 students from each U.S. state and 100 countries.<br />

About 65% of students live on campus. With Sodexo its partner since 1991, the university is prepared for<br />

the future with a completely revitalized campus structure, facilities and student services.<br />

“Changing mind and place”<br />

In 1991, to help it prepare for a dynamic future,<br />

the university asked Sodexo to oversee the maintenance<br />

and upkeep of its buildings and grounds. To revitalize<br />

the campus structure and plant operations, Sodexo<br />

was asked in 1994 to design and develop a new Campus<br />

Master Plan. This marked the beginning of a close<br />

working relationship.<br />

An environment for tomorrow<br />

To pave the way for dynamic development, Sodexo<br />

introduced a new facilities plan, building schedule<br />

and comprehensive range of Facilities Management<br />

services. In 1997, Sodexo managed the construction<br />

of the campus’ fi rst high-rise residence hall. In 2002,<br />

Sodexo was asked to provide a campus dining program<br />

with retail concepts befi tting the fi rst-rate campus.<br />

And, in <strong>2006</strong>, Sodexo and The University of Tampa<br />

signed a 15-year partnership agreement for Food<br />

and Facilities Management services.<br />

On the path to success<br />

Today, thanks to Sodexo’s expertise and service spirit,<br />

the University of Tampa can focus on what it does<br />

best: education. President Vaughn estimates that<br />

the partnership with Sodexo has resulted in 20%<br />

initial savings per year. Best of all, the campus now<br />

enhances the quality of students’ daily life, offers<br />

a leading educational experience and contributes<br />

to their academic success.<br />

“Sodexo is more than just a business partner<br />

at the University of Tampa. They are dedicated<br />

to our success and put every effort into making<br />

our aspirations become a reality.”<br />
