Our neighborhood is the industry itself.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rosen College sits in the heart of Orlando\u2019s tourism corridor, surrounded by the industries our students are preparing to lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Orlando Resort, Walt Disney World, SeaWorld and ICON Park are minutes away. So is the Orange County Convention Center, anchoring a district of conferences, exhibitions and festivals. So are the Four Seasons Orlando, Rosen Shingle Creek, the Dr. Phillips Center, the Kia Center, and the headquarters of Darden Restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orlando is the most visited destination in the nation, and this is a city built entirely on hospitality. Theme parks and resorts, one of the busiest convention districts in the world, a restaurant scene serving tens of millions of visitors, three professional sports franchises, and a performing arts centre. The whole city runs on the work our students are training to do.<\/p>\n\n\n

Rosen College Reimagined<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Heart of Hospitality, rebuilt.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2026 we rebuilt the college around the way students actually learn, in three phases across nine months, without ever closing our doors. We called the reopening Rosen College Reimagined<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What changed<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n\t\n\n
\n\t\t\t\n\n
\n\n
\n

The Anheuser-Busch Beer & Wine Lab<\/h3>\n

Fully renovated, where students train in beverage management on real equipment.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

The Disney Dining Room<\/h3>\n

Reconfigured with an open bar area, so service training happens in a working room.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

Modernized classrooms<\/h3>\n

Rebuilt to teach the way the industry operates, rather than the way lectures are delivered.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

The Rosen College Commons<\/h3>\n

A gathering space for students, alumni and the industry partners who visit them.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

Open faculty and staff offices<\/h3>\n

Collaborative areas that keep faculty within reach of the students they teach.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

A hospitality technology lab<\/h3>\n

Next in the build, where students will work with the systems the industry is moving to.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n
