FSU Research Foundation board member Ricardo Schneider said that the IRCB is expected to complement the other facilities and companies in the area.

“Scientists and engineers want to find solutions to problems and to create. With the IRCB, FSU is creating a place for that problem solving and creativity.”

The university is working with the HGA, an architecture firm, on the new building that is slated for opening in 2024.

Some of the FSU buildings in the southwest campus include the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, and the High-Performance Materials Institute.
