Florida Southern College Frank Lloyd Wright’s “Child of the Sun”
The Danforth Chapel is one of two chapels on campus designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
The Thad Buckner Building is home to the Frank Lloyd Wright “Child of the Sun” Visitor Center.
The Water Dome, first completed in 1948, was remodeled to its original design and was dedicated on October 25, 2007.
Florida Southern is home to the world’s only Frank Lloyd Wright-designed planetarium.
Frank Lloyd Wright often visited Florida Southern College during his 20-year relationship with the college.
Founded by the United Methodist Church, Florida Southern College is one of the oldest private colleges in the state, tracing its beginnings to a small seminary in Orlando in 1883. The tie to its founding church has remained constant and is today, a proud part of the College’s heritage and a bright beacon for the future. Florida Southern moved to Lakeland in the heart of Florida’s citrus belt in 1922 and began the construction of a campus that would eventually become a national landmark. The beautiful 100-acre campus, on the north shore of Lake Hollingsworth, includes the world’s largest collection of buildings by master architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Florida Southern’s West Campus, now known throughout the world, actually had its inception in the mind of Dr. Ludd M. Spivey, president of the college from 1925-1957. 2
Annie Pfeiffer Chapel, completed in 1941, was the first of Wright’s designs at Florida Southern College.
In 1935 he conceived the idea of an ultra-modern campus, designed by the world’s leading architect. Ground was broken two years later for the first building in the Wright collection, the Annie Pfeiffer Chapel. What Frank Lloyd Wright created on the campus is amazing. His original work is still as modern and exciting as the newest buildings still on many architect’s drawing boards. It is, perhaps, symbolic that the greatest concentration of his genius should be located at a small, private institution of higher learning. Perhaps he describes it best, “...out of the ground and into the light, a child of the sun... the college of tomorrow.”

The Moccasins play their home matches at the Beerman Tennis Center. The complex was named in honor of the Beerman family which has been synonymous with the growth of tennis in the Lakeland community. Dave Beerman, Sr. has been a driving force in the tennis scene in Lakeland, leading an effort to spread the good news of tennis to area youths. Through his early efforts of allowing Polk County teams the use of the first city courts, Beerman has helped tennis grow to the county-wide success it knows today. Beerman was an outstanding amateur tennis player at No. 1 singles at East Nashville High School before moving on to play No. 1 singles for Tennessee Tech. Perhaps seeing tennis continue to grow is one of Beerman’s greatest joys and thanks to his guidance, the Moccasins can enjoy the Beerman Tennis Center and in turn, host some of the finest collegiate talent in the nation. The five varsity courts, located adjacent to the George W. Jenkins Field House, are named in honor of five outstanding tennis patrons: Jimmie Sikes, Bud Edsall, Scott Linder, Bill Lord and Richard Miller.
