                         HON. CARLOS A. GIMENEZ

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, August 3, 2021

  Mr. GIMENEZ. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the grand 
opening of the College of the Florida Keys Upper Keys Center. The 
College of the Florida Keys, CFK, is part of the Florida College System 
and has been an integral part of higher education in Florida for nearly 
50 years.
  Over the years, CFK has accomplished significant milestones such as 
instating bachelor programs that are accessible to the neighboring 
communities, introducing prominent skilled programs, and preparing 
students for their future endeavors.
  The grand opening of the Upper Keys Center will expand and enhance 
the college's mission in equipping the student body with additional 
space that will allow them to study, learn, and grow. The new center 
will include new classrooms, nursing labs, a bio-chemical lab, 
apprenticeship labs, an auditorium, a testing center, and a library. 
Additionally, the center will also feature learning spaces, lounges, an 
activities room, and a patio deck.
  Again, I rise to recognize the College of the Florida Keys Upper Keys 
Center. CFK has provided meaningful contributions to the Florida Keys 
community. Many individuals from all walks of life have been able to 
fulfill their goals and foster meaningful relationships that have 
helped them advance and enrich their academic careers. I know that CFK 
will continue to do this for decades to come.
