Florida A&M University Entomology Lab

The new Entomology Building will provide a much-needed facility for the growth and advancement of the university’s mission by providing scientists, students and agricultural industry leaders with a responsive, collaborative and creative learning environment. The 70,000-square-foot building makes use of a four-level atrium to both organize and separate various programming elements. Placing the high-energy laboratories on the south side and the classrooms, offices and conference areas on the north side, all on display from within the atrium, fosters a dynamic, open and collaborative scientific environment. The atrium will also function as the social heart of the facility with common areas for socialization and impromptu encounters. In addition, the atrium will accommodate a variety of activities, including university events, exhibitions, banquets, group and private study.
