Do they have TCs at UF?

I'm soon to be starting my term at University of Florida (although technically, I won't be starting my official term until January 3rd, but I will be staying in my dorm starting in August... long story involving the Innovation Academy program). I think one of my high school classmates has a brother that used to go to UF and work with Tesla Coils there, but I'm not so sure. I'm not exactly sure who to ask at UF, but I'm wondering if anybody goes to or went to UF, could they tell me if there are TCs there? A maker-space where HVers can work on and build HV projects and whatnot? I've been deprived of high voltage for the last few years due to personal financial issues (another long story) and a lack of a means of buying materials even if I did have the money (all I can do is sit here and spark my tiny Jacob's Ladder). I'm really hoping that once I'm in college, that'll change, and that I can jump into HV again. But to do that, I need a place to do so. If anybody else goes to UF or went to UF, could they please tell me if there's a high-voltage "club" there or something, and if so, do they have Tesla Coils?
