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 />
