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)?

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