Experience Life as a Sailfish

Dive into the vibrant heartbeat of Palm Beach Atlantic University, where more than 4,000 Sailfish from over 80 countries now thrive in our largest-ever community this fall 2025. More than half (58%) call campus home in modern residence halls, and with groundbreaking this October, we’re building on that momentum: a transformative 25-story, 990-bed tower featuring apartment-style living, a 28,000-square-foot dining hall, 14,000 square feet of fitness and wellness space, and a 704-space parking garage—all set to open in fall 2027 and redefine on-campus life. Ignite your purpose through our Workship program, which has celebrated over 4 million hours of service since spring 2024, fueling spiritual renewal and bold leadership via missions, clubs, and hands-on engagement. Seamlessly blending academics and athletics, the new 125,000-square-foot Marshall and Vera Lea Rinker Business Hall—under construction since January 2024 and slated to welcome students in spring 2026—empowers our 18 NCAA Division II teams with cutting-edge resources right at the heart of campus.
