I have passed this amazing building just past Lakeland on 1-4 many times and had been fascinated by its construction. This IST (Innovation, Science and Technology) Building, designed by renowned Spanish architect Dr. Santiago Calatrava, is an oval 160,000-square-foot white domed structure. It has a distinctive louvered roof system and is surrounded by a ring of curved metal pergolas that shade its outer terrace and walkways. The two-story building was completed in 2014, and is surrounded by a group of 7 terraced lakes. I finally had the opportunity to wander around it around sunset, and was even given a guided tour by a very friendly security staff member, when I got to see their IBM supercomputer, the 3-D printing labs, and also labs for nanotechnology, and cybersecurity. There were only 3 students inside studying on this Sunday evening, and Carlos from Argentina was gracious enough to be photographed studying off the main hall. Do go and visit this beautiful building.\"MFS_9534\"<\/a>\"MFS_9471\"<\/a> \"MFS_9462\"<\/a>\"MFS_9297\"<\/a> \"MFS_9489\"<\/a> \"MFS_9520\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"MFS_9555\"<\/a> \"MFS_9562\"<\/a>\"MFS_9631\"<\/a> \"MFS_9588\"<\/a> \"MFS_9597\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
