All in-person tours will be suspended from Sunday, August 18th to Sunday, August 25th as our department prepares for Fall 2019 move-in and the opening of our new downtown housing, UnionWest.
The UnionWest Preview Center is located in the main lobby of the UCF Center for Emerging Media, at 500 West Livingston St., Orlando, FL 32801. It is available for tours Monday-Wednesday, 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Thursday-Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. No appointments are needed for a tour, but large groups or guests with questions are welcome to call the Preview Center at 407-868-0862.
A furnished sample bedroom and living space are available to view. Please note that while the furnishings featured are the exact furnishings and materials for UnionWest, the rooms are not built to exact scale due to space restrictions in this location.
When you drop by, you’ll be greeted by Housing and Residence Life staff who can answer all of your housing questions. For more information on UnionWest, please click here.
We offer tours daily, Monday-Friday at 12pm and 4pm (excluding holidays). Tours start from the lobby of the Recreation and Wellness Center located next to the Leisure Pool and across the street from Parking Garage B. If you arrive before our tour, grab a quick drink or snack at the Smoothie King located in the lobby. Restrooms are also available.
Groups of 10 or fewer do not need to sign up for a tour in advance; simply meet a Housing staff member on the 2nd floor lobby of the Recreation and Wellness Center a few minutes before the tour time. Housing and Residence Life staff will be on hand to greet you and answer questions prior to the tour. Large groups (10+) should fill out the Special Tours form.
The 12pm and 4pm tours will show at least one style of residence hall room. Currently we are showing shared rooms in the Hercules Community and the Libra Community. Tours given by the Office of Admissions (10am and 2pm) direct visitors to the Recreation and Wellness Center afterwards so they can then go on the housing tour.
