In 1987, a fire destroyed Johnson Hall. Unfortunately, the hall housed a colony of about 5,000 bats. Many of the bats found refuge in the newly constructed Percy Beard Track and Field Stadium. After then-Governor Martinez attended a game in the stadium and noticed a foul stench, university officials sought to remedy the problem by building the Bat House. As of January 1999, there were an estimated 60,000 bats living in the house. The bats leave the house every evening at dusk, with a crowd always on hand to watch them take off.

In Florida, a bicycle is considered a vehicle, and bike riders are subject to the same responsibilities and regulations as motorists. Bicyclists can be ticketed for the same traffic violations too, such as running a stop sign or red light, going the wrong way on a one-way street, or riding on the wrong side of the road, among others. Fines range from $45 to $90, and include attendance at a Bicycle Safety Education Program.
Additional requirements include mandatory white headlights and red tail lights for nighttime riding, one person only on bikes with one seat, and at least one hand on the handlebars at all times. Other information about requirements for bicycles on campus is available from the University Police Department Community Services Division during regular business hours. UPD also provides a bike registration service.
In Florida, everyone 16 years of age or younger is required to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle. All cyclists are encouraged to wear a bike helmet for their own safety to avoid serious head injuries.
