We all know Frank Lloyd Wright iconically designed 13 Florida Southern College buildings — but did you know that students primarily built them (including many female students during World War II)?

The personal stories behind the world’s largest collection of Wright buildings is the topic of the first episode of “Greater Lakeland” — a new Lakeland-focused series debuting on WEDU PBS today.

Stream anytime or tune in at 8:30 p.m. tonight to learn how Florida Southern became a lasting tribute to the famous architect.
