Library: The Mission of the Library is to provide quality information resources and services that support academic programs and to work with the university community in teaching them to use resources and services effectively.

The Carl S. Swisher Library is a three-story, 52,000 square foot facility overlooking the St. Johns River and centrally located on the academic part of campus. It was named for a former chair of the Jacksonville University Board of Trustees who contributed the money for its construction in three phases from 1953 to 1971.

Facilities: JU’s Campus Facilities Department is dedicated to maintaining an environment that is conducive to learning and teaching for our University community. Our staff of 85 employees provides service to over 50 buildings. JU’s main campus consists of over 240 acres. Our technicians respond to approximately 400 work requests a month including our preventative maintenance program. We consider the University’s 2,500 students and 500 faculty and staff to be our customers and we strive to provide them with the best service possible.

Sports: With its home waters on the beautiful St. Johns River, the Jacksonville University Sailing Team is a rapidly growing, competitive organization. Operating under the Division of Student Life, the JU Sailing Team is made up of both new and experienced sailors and acts as a competitive racing team and as a recreational club. In fall 2012, it became the first collegiate varsity sailing team in Northeast Florida.
