Downtown Center

Opened in 1998, the SPC Downtown Center offers a variety of degree, certificate, and transfer programs. The Downtown Center is a full-service center that blends academics with the vibrant life of downtown St. Petersburg, making it an attractive option for students who want to experience both education and the cultural richness of the area. We are minutes away from restaurants, parks, shopping, cultural venues, and entertainment options, including the Palladium at St. Petersburg College. The center also features the American Stage Theatre Company and the Florida Orchestra.
