Project Description: The proposed building will jointly house International Studies and the International School. The building should provide a striking physical symbol of the international dimension of the University's mission and identity. It should provide a state-of-the art venue for the many activities - classes, lectures, workshops, performances, conferences, and faculty and graduate student research-that constitute the agendas of its occupants. It should invite faculty, students, and others to linger over their work, and to interact over lunch, coffee, or casual conversation. It should impress the constant stream of prominent foreign visitors that find their way to FIU. It also should enhance the external reputations of the centers and institutes, departments, and school that inhabit it. The project will also require campus utility infrastructure improvements to service the building and future building sites. It will contain an approximate total gross square footage of 57,712 with a construction budget of approximately $14 million.
