FIU’s
new Graduate School of Business building is designed to
help prepare professionals for today’s technology-driven,
global economy. In addition to high-tech classrooms, labs
and lecture halls, the school has a 2,400-sf trading floor
that gives students hands-on experience monitoring international
stock exchanges. The three-story building is designed
to maximize daylighting, with two L-shaped wings surrounding
a central courtyard. The air conditioning system incorporates
strict humidity and temperature ranges to suit technology
and equipment that runs around the clock. |
