Santiago Calatrava to Design 'Cornerstone of New Campus' at USF Polytechnic

Watch out, Disneyworld. Hang on to your geodesic-domed hat, Epcot Center. Because bridgemaster Santiago Calatrava is bringing his epic swoops and avian ribbing to Florida. Calatrava’s firm has been commissioned to design the first building for the new campus of the the University of South Florida Polytechnic (USFP) in Lakeland, Florida, the school announced this week. Occupying 100,000 square feet, USFP’s $45 million science and technology building will be the cornerstone of the new campus and will establish the design scheme for all buildings in the initial phase of the campus master plan.
