About Florida International University

An abandoned airfield is an unusual place for the birth of a university. But in the summer of 1969, founding  Florida International University president Chuck Perry gathered three leaders who would help him create his vision.

Butler Waugh, Donald McDowell and Nick Sileo joined the 31-year-old Perry at Tamiami Airport and set up shop in the former air traffic controllers tower. The tower had no phones, no drinkable water and no furniture. President Perry decided that the control tower should never be destroyed and so it remains standing today at the center of campus, as  Florida International University's Ivory Tower.
