Jacksonville University is taking visible steps to expand its riverfront Arlington campus.
The private school will demolish 10 buildings at the former Boys’ Home Association Inc. property it bought immediately south of its campus. The home closed several years ago.
Those buildings sit on the 38.6-acre site that JU acquired in June for $3.3 million.
Margaret Dees, JU chief communications and marketing officer, said the university is preparing to start demolition and land preparation work. Details about timelines and specific uses will be shared later, she said in an emailed statement.
