Florida Southern is no stranger to the art of architecture. The campus is a National Historic Landmark thanks to its collection of structures designed by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The school itself will find its home — along with new design studios, fabrication labs, and a research center — in the Wright-designed Ordway Building.

What’s next for the upcoming program? FSC says it will begin the search for a dean to lead the School of Architecture in June.
