The University of North Florida announced Dec. 10 it received a donation of about 190 acres for campus expansion and use. The A.C. Skinner family donated the land decades ago to the Duval County Research and Development Authority, an independent authority of the city of Jacksonville, which managed the land for the benefit of UNF. The authority is conveying the property to the UNF Foundation. UNF said the property, comprising 11 vacant parcels, is valued at $21.5 million. “The University is extremely grateful and appreciative of this gift of land from both the Skinner family and the Duval County Research and Development Authority that will benefit our community and students for generations to come,” UNF interim President Pamela Chally said in a news release. “This donation represents a strategic investment in UNF’s future that will allow the University to continue to expand our footprint within Jacksonville and provide additional academic resources and amenities to the community,” she said. The parcels form a portion of the First Coast Technology Park, fronting on First Coast Tech Parkway or Kernan Boulevard north of Butler Boulevard. Potential uses include academic support and enrichment, research, athletics, faculty and student life, residential, maintenance and auxiliary facilities, the release said.
