Veterans Legacy Complex

Student Veterans Center • The SVC will be a one-stop shop of resources, programs and services for Florida State student veterans and veteran dependents. It will serve as social space, gathering place and study hall for enrolled student veterans, as well as a setting to build relationships and gather peer support and encouragement.

Institute for World War II and the Human Experience • With the sixth largest archive of World War II memorabilia in the world, the Institute will represent past veterans and provide a place for scholars, students and the members of the general public to study the effects of war on individuals and societies through examinations of personal letters, oral histories, battlefront and stateside documents, and keepsakes donated by service members and their loved ones.

Reserve Officer Training Corps Facility • The existing ROTC facility at Florida State is more than 60 years old and inadequate for the training 21st century military officers. A new home for our nation’s future Air Force and Army leaders is long overdue, and the lack of federal government funding means the construction of a modern facility is entirely dependent on donor contributions.

Description: Proposed is a 35,000-square-foot building located on Jefferson Street near the Varsity Way roundabout.

In the meantime, the Pearl Tyner House at the Florida State Alumni Association complex on West Tennessee Street will serve as the center’s temporary home. Developer's Narrative: The SVC will be a one-stop shop of resources, programs and services for Florida State student veterans and veteran dependents. It will serve as social space, gathering place and study hall for enrolled student veterans, as well as a setting to build relationships and gather peer support and encouragement.
