Help visitors and vendors find us on campus
Let’s help visitors and vendors find us on campus when attending meetings, conferences, and special events, or when delivering packages, by using the building's physical address on all invitations and correspondence, including POs and online orders. The USF physical address is different from the USF mailing address (4202 E Fowler Avenue) and is unique to each building on campus. Below are the physical addresses for MHC, PCD, SOC, MSC, and ALC. For other campus physical addresses, please refer to the interactive USF map or search the 911 building code. Help us make sure people and packages don’t get lost on campus. The USF physical address is also recommended when calling 911. It will help emergency services find us much faster and could save a life.
