University of Tampa Riverfront - Tampa, FL, USA

This live camera looks across the University of Tampa's riverfront campus on the Hillsborough River, with the full downtown Tampa skyline rising directly behind the water. The University of Tampa is a private university founded in 1931, enrolling around 11,000 students across 200-plus academic programmes on a 110-acre campus that sits directly across the river from the Tampa Convention Center and Amalie Arena.

The campus occupies the former Tampa Bay Hotel, a Moorish Revival building completed in 1891 by railroad magnate Henry B. Plant, whose silver minarets are visible on the historic main building and are now one of the most recognised architectural landmarks in Florida. The Hillsborough River visible in this feed runs 54 miles from its source in Pasco County to Tampa Bay, with the university campus sitting at the point where the river enters the downtown core.

The sand volleyball court visible in the foreground with the Tampa skyline as a backdrop is one of the more photogenic campus recreational facilities in the United States, with construction cranes in the background reflecting Tampa's status as one of the fastest-growing cities in the south-east, adding over 50,000 new residents per year to the metropolitan area.

Did You Know? The University of Tampa's main building was originally the Tampa Bay Hotel, built in 1891 with 13 Moorish minarets by Henry Plant as part of his strategy to drive tourism to Florida via his railroad network.
