The University of West Florida’s development arm is moving forward with a new hotel and conference center on North Davis Highway and Campus Drive.

The University of West Florida Business Enterprises, Inc. board of directors and the UWF Board of Trustees voted this week to approve an affiliation agreement with Vieste, LLC, of Chicago for the $41 million development.

The groundbreaking on the development is planned for June 2013.

Included in the mixed-use development plans are 100 hotel guest room suites as well as 300 rooms of housing for non-traditional and upper divisional students. Additionally, the agreement references potential decentralized restaurant parcels located within the multi-use site.
