The Schmidt Family Complex for Academic and Athletic Excellence.
The cutting-edge, 166,000-square-foot complex is the ultimate student recruitment and success center. By leveling up our performance in the classroom and in competition, as well as our leadership in innovation and business, the Schmidt Family Complex supports FAU’s bold vision to be the fastest-improving university in the country — and the world.
Opening in 2019, the building will transform FAU’s three key priorities: student success, executive education and athletic excellence.
Success for all students starts with services, and the Schmidt Family Complex is North Campus’ hub for academic support.
At the heart of the complex is the Student Success Center, the core of services for all FAU undergraduates who need extra help with math classes at every level.
With Counseling and Tutoring Offices, students gain access to academic advising, counseling, peer mentorship services and more with peer and professional advisors early — and often.
FAU’s iconic Breezeway will extend across North University Drive to The Gateway, linking the heart of campus to the ultimate student fitness, recruitment, career and academic success center.
The Outdoor Terrace will feature tiered patio seating out of the sun’s glare. A shaded roof will cover five rows of terraced seating that — step by step — ascend above the Game Day Plaza.
The main artery to the heart of campus — University Drive — delivers students and fans directly to Stadium Plaza, the premier public space for Game Day activities. The Marching Owls will serenade fans while our spirit squad energizes the crowds passing through this high-traffic stretch.
