THE WATER SCHOOL

The newest school — and largest academic building — at FGCU, The Water School, focuses on key areas critical to our water-driven world, including such topics as climate change, natural resources, ecosystem health and wellbeing, restoration and remediation. While the focus is on environmental issues and water quality, professors from other disciplines are also affiliated with the school to bring their perspectives on the myriad ways water impacts our lives.

The school houses several centers and partnerships, including Vester Marine & Environmental Science Research Field Station, the Everglades Wetland Research Park in the Kapnick Education Research Center at Naples Botanical Garden, the Coastal Watershed Institute, the Environmental Education and Outreach Program and the Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve Faculty Liaison.
