,CENTER I ' SERVES'"" ,. 1000's

The South Florida Education Center serves thousands of students of all ag­ es, 12 months of the year. It was conceived as a lifelong educa­ tional complex where students could study from pre-kindergarten through the postgraduate levels. The complex is located on 130 acres off Davie Road in Southwest Fort Lauderdale on the former Foreman Field, which served as a U.S. Navy auxiliary field in World War II. The complex was created in the mid­ fifties by the Broward County Board of Public Instruction and a group of busi­ ness and professional people with far­ reaching vision.
