The Florida Gators are known for their accomplishments in a variety of athletics, and they wanted to tackle their academic headquarters with the same intensity they bring to their gameday competitions. The Otis Hawkins Center for Academic Excellence is a living space for student- athletes to meet with the advisors, counselors, nutritionists, you-name-it. 

When you enter, the three-story lobby lets everyone know that success goes beyond game time, and it takes the same perseverance to win off the field as on. The lobby sculpture comprises 21 pieces, each representing a team and sport in which the Gators compete.
