Why did USFP select Santiago Calatrava and not a local architect?
Our Architectural Selection Committee conducted an RFP and rigorous selection process that included local architects. Ultimately, Santiago Calatravas vision matched ours to create a 21st century campus that attracts top talent and serves as a beacon for higher education in the state of Florida. Calatrava will partner with Tampa-based Alfonso Architects to execute the project. USF has executed a number of successful projects with Alfonso Architects.
