Crack books, not beers: College bar makes way for science

Next autumn, science faculty and students at the University of Tampa will have more room for research and experiments. On land formerly occupied by the Outpost Tap House & Tavern, at 909 W. Kennedy Blvd., UT plans to build a 4,000-square-foot science research facility that will provide space for up to 12 biology and chemistry professors and their students.

The university acquired the property in April 2017 for $1.6 million and leased it to the Outpost.
