Valencia College — Lake Nona Campus

Lake Nona Campus is at 12350 Narcoossee Road, beside the region’s Medical City and research corridor. Valencia’s two-year Biotechnology Laboratory Sciences A.S. is a signature option here: it combines biology and chemistry with laboratory practice and internship experience for students preparing for biotechnology work. The building has 18 classrooms, two computer labs and six science labs, along with tutoring, assessment services, computer access, a library, campus store, café and outdoor courtyard. Its partnership with Lake Nona High also creates a route for eligible high-school students to earn college credit while finishing secondary school.

The campus page lists student services at 407-582-1507 and offers a virtual tour, program information and a campus map. The student-facing transportation page says LYNX routes serve stops near Valencia locations; students outside Downtown may apply for a free parking decal after acceptance, but a decal does not reserve a space. Before coming for a biology lab, placement exam or advising visit, confirm the building and appointment time, since service hours can differ from class hours. Google Maps directions are attached to this profile for the exact Narcoossee Road address.

This site suits learners who want science facilities close to health and biotechnology employers, but the science focus does not replace the college’s broader catalog. Applicants can explore the A.A. transfer degree, other A.S. programs and career certificates, then use advising to compare admission gates, prerequisites and where required classes meet. The biotechnology A.S. is described by Valencia as a two-year program, though placement, course sequencing, internship timing and part-time enrollment can change a student’s personal completion date. Check the current catalog and program page before choosing a start term.

A student who needs English support can be assessed for English for Academic Purposes, with a PERT test and, when needed, the ACCUPLACER LOEP language assessment. Valencia also offers adult ESOL through Continuing Education for learners who want language classes outside a degree plan. Those routes have different registration and cost rules: ask whether a course is credit-bearing, whether it applies to a degree and which campus offers the section. Lake Nona has an advising center and learning-support facilities, making it a practical place to ask those questions once the application is active.
