The gift will contribute to the development of a state-of-the-art facility designed to advance research and support the growth of science programming on campus.
Proposed Model of Future Science Academic Building
“Providing students with dedicated space for experimentation and applied learning is essential to their academic and professional development,” said Dixon. “As Flagler continues to grow and respond to increasing student interest in the sciences, it must expand the facilities that make this work possible. I’m proud to support this investment in the College’s future.”
A new modular laboratory has provided a critical foundation for hands-on learning in the sciences, serving as an early step toward Flagler’s STEM facility. The future Science Academic Building will build upon this momentum with expanded laboratories and research spaces, high-quality instrumentation, and enhanced classrooms designed to elevate experiential learning and discovery. These advancements will prepare students for success in healthcare, graduate study, and scientific careers following graduation.
“Dr. Dixon’s gift represents a meaningful vote of confidence in our Science Program,” said John Delaney, President of Flagler College. “His generosity will enhance our ability to provide a rigorous course of study while also helping us create a lasting home for the sciences at Flagler.”
Dr. Dixon is a longtime benefactor of the College, having supported several capital projects, including the Proctor Library Renovation and the Solarium Renovation Project. This latest investment further strengthens his legacy of support for Flagler College and its commitment to creating transformative learning environments for students.
