Chapman Graduate School of Business (fig1) Courtyard creates communal space for both student and faculty alike. 11200 S.W 8TH Street – CBC 200, Miami, FL 33199 Year designed/planned- 2003 Year construction completed- 2007 92, 000 ft² / 9,000 m² Architects- Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates KPF and BEA International, Joint Venture Architect Clients- Florida International University Awards- 2008 Merit Award winner in higher education category of the Florida Facilities Planning Association, Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design American Architecture Award 2008, Construction Association of South Florida Craftsmanship Award 2008. Chapman Graduate School of Business was designed with the intention of bringing students, faculty and administration together through the mutual spaces. The school is composed of two separate units; one housing classrooms, an auditorium, and student facilities while the other consists of faculty offices and an academic center. Both sides are unified by the courtyards in the middle. The courtyards and their water basin catch the westward breeze which keep the spaces for gathering cool throughout. The informal meeting areas provide a shared space where the students and faculty can unite while still promoting the independence the school requires for success.
