Campus
The present campus comprises some 64 buildings on 100 acres (405,000 m²) of land and is home to the largest collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture in the world. The campus itself is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district, due to the historical significance of its buildings. In 2011, it was selected as the most beautiful campus in America by The Princeton Review.
The College has undergone many changes to its infrastructure in the last few years. In 2009, the Robert A. M. Stern-designed Barnett Residential Life Center was completed. The complex includes Nicholas and Wesley Halls, and houses up to 235 students in lake-view rooms designed to complement Frank Lloyd Wright's existing architecture on campus. Meanwhile in 2008, Marshall and Vera Lea Rinker bestowed to the school $1.5 million in order to construct a technology center. The 4,000 square foot Rinker Technology Center opened its doors in March, 2010.
Besides improving the campus proper, FSC has also expanded outward by acquiring properties in adjacent neighborhoods. The biggest example of this expansion to date has been Lake Morton Apartments, about twelve minutes walking distance from campus. In 2011, the school bought, renovated, and furnished Lake Morton Apartments for $5.7 million. As part of the Pathway to Independence Program, upperclassmen and graduate students who are in good standing may be invited to live at this location.
