With a hospitality college ranked seventh nationally and academic and sporting programs that bring 75,000 visitors annually to the city, Florida State University is moving forward with plans to add an “academic” hotel to its campus inventory.
The university’s Board of Trustees voted by consent last week to approve a request to include a hotel site in FSU’s master plan, which was delayed last year due to COVID planning and could take 12 months to finalize.
Approval by trustees was needed because it involves an amendment to the master plan, which serves as a blueprint for campus properties and future development.
