⁣When UF opened a new presidential home near the law school in 2015 it freed up the old stately president’s home just north of the Stephen C. O’Connell Center. The vintage 1953 building became the Earl and Christy Powell University House. With the presidents safely ensconced elsewhere, the home became a campus retreat of sorts: receptions, holiday parties, meetings, conferences, academic ceremonies, athletics events and more keep the Earl and Christy Powell University House brimming with Gators. ⠀ ⠀ Earl Powell (BA ’60), a Coral Gables businessman, and Christy Powell (BS ’71) have supported numerous other ventures on campus, but the gracious Earl and⠀ Christy Powell University House is an iconic spot nearly all Gators have passed on their way to or from campus. ⠀ ⠀ #GoGreater #GoGators #NamedSpaces
