Detailed coordination and planning contributed to the successful completion of this project. Tamiami Hall is attractive and unique with its piano-like design, but it is also durable and resilient as its precast concrete façade was built to withstand extreme weather conditions and can withstand 160 mph winds.

The building was constructed on Florida International University's (FIU) campus directly adjacent to the university’s football stadium. Construction of the residence hall took place within a few feet of football fields and a large parking lot. Under construction through two football seasons, the fields remained in use and undisturbed throughout construction.
