New construction of a mixed-use development in Miami, Florida. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a 124,462-square-foot educational facility.

To support current and expanding science programs, Florida International University is in need of considerable science specific classrooms, teaching laboratories and offices. Existing facilities are severely inadequate to meet University needs. This facility will provide critically needed classrooms, laboratories and offices to address existing shortfalls and to meet educational and research needs of the University. The Science Laboratory Complex is an essential element in the FIU/State University System Strategic Plan to meet statewide professional and workforce needs in the science area. The project budget includes extraordinary costs of upgrading and extending existing central campus infrastructure to the project site. In recognition of the University's commitment to sustainability practices this project will be designed and built with the goal of meeting the USGBC's LEED-NC "Silver" certification rating level at a minimum.
