Legacy Hall at FSU almost to the finish line with fall completion, spring opening
- FSU's Legacy Hall, the largest academic space on its extended campus, is nearing completion and slated to be finished by Aug. 30.
- The $160 million building will house the College of Business and feature state-of-the-art technology and collaborative spaces.
- Classes are scheduled to begin in late January, with faculty and staff moving in during the fall.
The new College of Business building expands FSU's campus footprint and significantly changes the stretch of Gaines Street, where it's surrounded by the FSU-owned Donald L. Tucker Civic Center and a brick building for the non-profit organization Florida Professional Firefighters.
In addition, alongside Legacy Hall is Doug Burnett Park − a small park on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard with a couple of benches and tall oak trees − and on the other side of Gaines Street is an apartment complex under construction called "The Hall," which is slated to open in fall 2026.
Some of the new building’s features will include a 300-seat auditorium for classes and speaking events, a financial trading room, forum stairs with seating, a central atrium and a multipurpose event space. Over 200 private donors have contributed to the project, including FSU Board of Trustees member John Thiel and his wife Karen Thiel, who are listed together under the $500,000 to $1 million category on Legacy Hall's donor webpage with their donation going toward the "Thiel Family Career & Professional Development Suite."
