Frank Lloyd Wright in Florida, who knew?
Florida Southern College, Lakeland, FL
To my surprise, Florida Southern College contains Frank Lloyd Wright's largest collection of buildings/
structures on one site (around 9 buildings begun around the 1940s). I went expecting see the campus
resemble the look and feel of the Fallingwater house, but unsure what a Frank Lloyd Wright campus
might comprise. Each entry through the various departmental buildings references a connection to
the outside natural environment. Light bounces in the stairwells, plants sprout from crevices and
pathways open to the sky. Take a visit and it is easy to see why Florida Southern College was recently
voted America's most beautiful college by the Princeton Review in 2011. Find more photos here.
