The deal stipulates that Scripps researchers and employees will be transferred to UF Health at the same pay rate. Now, development of the 70 acres will be up to UF. "This doesn't happen overnight," Mike Villella, Jupiter's finance director and a former biotech executive, said in April. Others urged patience at the site, which they said would develop into a biotech hub over decades, not months. "This was supposed to be a mini-Research Triangle Park," referring to the famed North Carolina research district.
"This was about jobs and companies and bringing a life sciences hub to Palm Beach County," Peter Reed, a commercial real estate broker who worked with the late developer Bruce Rendina to coax Scripps to Jupiter, said at the time. Instead of biotech and pharmaceutical companies sprouting on the site, the still-vacant land was turned over to Scripps in May 2021 for just $1.Ĭounty government officials determined that although Scripps never built its life-sciences hub, it complied with its 15-year contract with the county by creating 545 jobs and was eligible to take over the Alton property. The land grew in worth to about $70 million.
In addition, Palm Beach County bought 70 acres in the Palm Beach Gardens community now known as Alton, near Scripps at Interstate 95 and Donald Ross Road, to house biotech development. The deal was sealed in 2006, and Scripps opened in 2009, on land adjacent to Florida Atlantic University's Jupiter campus. Scripps received $310 million from the state and $269 million from Palm Beach County to build its campus. The faculty of the Joint Music Program are members of the Scripps College Music Department, where most Joint Music Program events occur, and the Harvey Mudd Humanities, Social Sciences, and Arts Department.State and county taxpayers spent about $580 million to bring Scripps to Jupiter and create a biotech hub that then-Gov. Jeb Bush said would bring new technology and high-paying jobs to Florida. For information about lessons, click here. Joint Music faculty also offer courses in the Scripps College music department, including music theory, music history, and music elective courses, all of which demonstrate our advocacy of interactive, seminar-style teaching.įor audition information, please see the pages for the appropriate ensemble, or click here auditions. These courses are taught by Joint Music professors or associated music faculty. In addition to large ensemble performance courses, the Joint Music Program frequently offers Music 81, Introduction to Music, a music appreciation class which focuses on Western musical traditions, and Music 3, Fundamentals of Music, which covers music notation and basic music theory. Working in a supportive, intimate environment, students find studying and performing music at The Claremont Colleges a stimulating and productive means of personal and artistic fulfillment. The liberal arts ideal of music as an integral part of the general curriculum is evidenced by students receiving academic credit for participation in large music ensembles as well as for applied lessons. Qualified student members from all of the Claremont Colleges are welcome to join. The Joint Music Program currently sponsors three ensembles, the Claremont Concert Orchestra, the Claremont Concert Choir, and the Claremont Treble Singers. The Joint Music Program of Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, Pitzer, and Scripps Colleges offers opportunities for music study and performance to music majors and other interested students.
