FIU Chapman Graduate School of Business | KPF
Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, The Florida International University Alvah H. Chapman Jr. Graduate School of Business serves as an academic mixed-use facility accommodating faculty and administrative offices, conference rooms, auditorium, as well as two open public courtyards. Architects KPF developed a two-phase design creating two distinct communities of students and faculty, the courtyards being the linking element between them.
The identity of the Alvah H. Chapman Jr. Graduate School of Business at Florida International University in Miami merges a strong link to the Americas with the image and actuality of a modern facility. The low-rise, courtyard design opens toward the existing Business Administration building with a strong diagonal pathway that allows east-west breezes to filter through the new complex.

The phased design creates two distinct communities?one for students, another for faculty?linked by proximity, formal expression, and materials. Phase One houses classrooms, administrative offices, a multipurpose facility, a 300-seat auditorium, and student support spaces. Phase Two contains academic centers and faculty offices. The buildings are wrapped in precast concrete panels, which are sandblasted to create texture and pattern, while the courtyards are finished in vividly colored stucco, a palette inspired by pre-Columbian art to honor the cultural heritage of the largest Latin and Hispanic student body.
