All of the architects had to keep within that budget with their ideas and presentations. Fundraising continues as USFP moves toward the process. As far as "matching" FL Southern's architecture, I doubt that this was where the original plan came from. The concept of designing a university with a polytechnic model in mind was the motivation for seeking an architect to meet the expectations for a modern look that will last forever.

Wonder if it was driven by the idea of the school trying to match Fla. Southern's architecture with a world class design of its own.
