Uraian Tempat

John Llewellyn Skinner initiated the first program in architecture at the University of Miami in 1927-28. Skinner was a graduate in architecture from the University of Toronto and Harvard University. After winning Harvard's Nelson Robinson Travelling Fellowship, Skinner went to the American Academy in Rome. He left his position as head of the department of architecture at Georgia Tech to join Phineas Paist, the noted Philadelphia architect, and Denman Fink, an artist whose work was in the collections of the National Academy and the Art Institute of Chicago, in the founding of the architecture program at the University of Miami. Fink was also known for his luxuriant drawings and paintings of the buildings he and Paist imagined for Coral Gables, including the University of Miami's Merrick Building. As George Merrick's uncle, Fink was integral to the emerging architecture of Coral Gables which fused building traditions from Central and Latin American colonial architecture.

Housing: The on-campus apartments are the oldest residence facilities at the University. Originally a 29-building complex, these were financed by the first government insured loan to a private university for campus housing. The original intent for these facilities was to house married veterans and their families. The apartment area was completed in 1948, along with the creation of Lake Osceola. In early years, the apartments consisted of mostly men. Today the Apartment Area houses both male and female upperclassmen students. The Apartment Area is located on the east side of campus between Stanford Drive and Dickinson Drive near the Metro-Rail station and the Wellness Center. Apartment Area residents may stay on campus during the Intersession period in December and early January. The following are the Meal Plan rates for the 2008 - 2009 academic year.
