Southwest Florida Music Education Center marked the debut of its newly renovated, state-of-the-art facility in Naples with a grand opening celebration. The center includes specially designed classrooms, practice rooms and informal performance spaces. The entire space is designed to reduce anxiety and enhance wellness through material selection, natural sunlight and nontoxic furnishings. SWFLMEC acquired a 43,097-square-foot building on 5.8 acres for its future permanent campus in Naples. The building will house practice rooms, classrooms, a recording studio, a practice performance stage and administrative space, eventually accommodating up to 50 full-time students starting in 2024. Future construction phases include the addition of a student dormitory, performance site and additional program space.
