The McKay Archives Center is the first new building on the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed, west portion of the historic Florida Southern campus in twenty-five years. The project materializes the enduring collaboration between the Florida Southern College and the Florida Methodist Conference, signifying in a tangible way the bond between the two organizations. The new two-story facility houses FSC’s Frank Lloyd Wright documents, drawings, photographs, and other memorabilia from Wright's time at the College. Other collections that are tied closely with the history of the two groups will also find a home here, as well as Florida Southern College's Center for Florida History and the Florida Citrus Archives. The facility provides state-of-the-art archival space for invaluable College & Conference materials making them available to students and patrons through research and exhibits. Only a few months after construction was complete in 2009, the McKay Archives Center was recognized with a “Design of Merit” award by the AIA Tampa Bay.
