TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida A&M University officially opened the doors to its new 700-bed residence hall Venom Landing. The ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, Aug. 12, brought together students, alumni, faculty, and community leaders to celebrate the university’s newest housing development.
“This is more than just a building — it’s a bold step forward in our commitment to provide a vibrant, enriching, and supportive community for our students,” said FAMU’s 13th President?Marva Johnson. “With Venom Landing, we’re not just expanding housing; we’re creating a space where students can grow, connect, and achieve at the highest levels.”
With sleek architecture, state-of-the-art amenities, and a convenient campus location, Venom Landing reflects the university’s vision for growth and student success.
Venom Landing’s 700-bed count boosts FAMU’s total on-campus housing from 2,700 to 3,400 beds — a significant leap that underscores the university’s expanding footprint.
Former FAMU President?Larry Robinson, Ph.D., said, “Venom Landing provides a space where students can truly feel at home, build meaningful connections with their peers, and excel academically.”
Robinson explained that research shows that students who live on campus are more likely to succeed. “This facility creates the ideal environment for both social and academic growth. It’s designed to support retention, engagement, and graduation for years to come,” he said.
