The UWF main campus is 1,600 acres of rolling hills and natural woodland along the Escambia River just ten miles north of downtown Pensacola. Our facilities have been designed to complement the natural beauty of this nature preserve. In addition, the UWF has waterfront property on Santa Rosa Island that is available for recreational, academic, and research pursuits. The University also operates the Fort Walton Beach Campus, the Eglin Air Force Base Center, and offices at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Hurlburt Field, and Whiting Field. More Info...
