Existing facilities must be improved and new facilities added to fully meet current needs and future demands. Significant additional space needs are projected in all space categories except Auditorium/Exhibition. All projects in the FIU CIP have been unanimously approved by the FIU Board of Trustees. The FIU BOT agenda item approving this CIP is found at https://bot.fiu.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2019/06/COMPLETE-FF- AGENDA-6.19.19_print-copy.pdf., page 109 of 254. The primary university contact for questions about this document is Dr. Kenneth Jessell, Senior Vice President and CFO. The 2020-2021 Legislative Budget Request has been developed in accordance with policy guidelines established by the Board of Governors and State University System. Project priorities identified in the 5-year CIP request are consistent with the Adopted Campus Master Plan and the Approved Educational Plant Survey. Space utilization and efficient space planning is a key component in the prioritization of planned capital improvements. PECO funding requested in previous 5-year plans for Facilities Infrastructure/Capital Renewal is no longer included in the CIP document consistent with new BOG policy guidelines approved in the March 2019 meeting. The continuation/completion of funding for Projects Previously Funded by the Legislature is now first in the priority order. One FIU project is included in this category: Engineering Building, Phase I & II – This project, which will be 30 percent privately funded, will be built on the Modesto A. Maidique Campus in order to facilitate many ongoing and future collaborations between the College of Engineering and Computing and the health sciences in our colleges of medicine, nursing and health sciences, and public health. In anticipation of the growth expected through the FIU 2020 Strategic Plan, the Department of Defense engineering needs projection for the next decade, and the President’s Jobs and Competitiveness Council call for 10,000 additional engineers, FIU will commit E&G funding for over 100 new engineering and computer science faculty. The proposed engineering building will provide laboratory and classroom facilities for these new students and faculty. Through this new facility, faculty and students, FIU will graduate an additional 350 engineers annually, increase its externally funded research expenditures by $30 million annually, create 550 new jobs in the community, submit an additional 27 patent applications annually, and create one FIU intellectual-property-based company every other year by 2025. The Legislature approved $10,000,000 for this project in 2017-18 and $20,641,537 in 2018-2019 which funded planning and partially funded construction for this important and critically needed facility. The 2020- 2021 Budget Request includes the balance of funding needed for Phase I construction and equipment and partially funds Phase II for planning and construction. The Legislative Budget Request also includes Capital Renewal and Stewardship of Existing Facilities that are essential to the University’s ability to continue and enhance critical SUS and University priorities. One FIU project is included in this category: Remodeling/Renovation of CASE Building - The 30-year-old 61,783 square foot Computing, Arts, Science and Education (CASE) building consists of 7 classrooms, 7 teaching labs, 61 research labs and 144 offices. Recent assessment reports indicate that repair and replacement of deteriorated building enclosure components, windows, doors, and louvers are critically needed. Replacement of the deteriorating central air conditioning system is crucial in order maintain a healthy indoor environment and control energy costs. Replacement of the building’s emergency generator system is required so that telecommunications equipment housed in the CASE building and feeding the nearby University Police and Emergency Operation Center can be maintained during and after a hurricane. FIU requests authority to use carry forward funds as an alternative source for the CASE project if PECO funding is not authorized in 2020-21. The Legislative Budget Request also includes New Facility Requests not previously funded that are essential to the University’s ability to continue and enhance critical SUS and University priorities. Independent analysis of Page 3 of 34 CIP-1, Narrative Overview existing facilities by Sightlines has demonstrated effective stewardship of existing academic facilities as required by SUS guidelines. One FIU project is included in this category: Honors College - This project will satisfy university space needs and facilitate the enrollment growth and programmatic development of the Honors program consistent with its purpose to become “the centerpiece of undergraduate educational excellence” at Florida International University. By repurposing existing space, the project improves space utilization, operationally and academically, in an efficient manner. The project, which will be 50% privately funded, is envisioned to be remodeled space being vacated in the Deuxieme Maison (DM) building at the Modesto Maidique Campus. Main components of the facility will include a Dean’s Offices Executive Suite, a Student Services Suite, an IT Suite including specialized student computer laboratory spaces and General Support Spaces. Since no new space is being added, this project will not need additional Plant Operations and Maintenance PO&M) budget. Finally, the CIP document includes Capital Improvement Trust Fund (CITF) Projects and Non-State Supplemental Funding of PECO and/or CITF Projects according to BOG policy guidelines. The support of the Board of Governors in these essential and critically needed projects will be greatly appreciated. The FIU 2020-2021 Fixed Capital Outlay Legislative Budget Request included in its entirety herein is approved by the Florida International University Board of Trustees: ________________________________________________________ ___________________________ Claudia Puig, Chair Date Page 4 of 34 STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP-2) and Legislative Budget Request Fiscal Years 2020-21 through 2024-25 Florida International University BOG CIP-2A, PECO-ELIGIBLE PROJECT REQUESTS 7/1/2019 Academic or Net Gross Project Cost Educational Approved by Other Programs Assignable Square Per GSF Plant Survey Law - Include GAA Priority Project Title 2020-21 2021-22 2022-23 2023-24 2024-25 to Benefit Square Feet Feet Project (Proj.

    CONTENTS Executive Summary 2 Introduction 7 Greater Miami and the Beaches Market Overview 8 Project Overview 12 Community Engagement 14 Community Stakeholder Feedback 16 Industry Trends 18 Destination Marketing Organization (DMO) Trends 20 DestinationNEXT Assessment 22 Major Findings 28 Strategic Goals & Initiatives 30 Appendices 36 DestinationMiami.org | 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Greater Miami and the Beaches has evolved into one of the most diverse and dynamic destinations in the world in little more than a generation. The fusion of Latin, Caribbean, African and European influences has elevated Greater Miami on the world stage with a bravado uniquely its own, attracting a wide cross-section of visitors from around the globe. Signature destination marketing programs along with infrastructure and real estate investment have propelled Miami- Dade County as one of the fastest growing counties in the eastern U.S. in 2019, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Today, Greater Miami has entered a new era where it must address numerous challenges brought about by its status and success as a global destination. Specifically, with regard to the visitor economy, there are many complex issues relating to mobility, workforce development, inclusivity, affordability and sustainability that will require the public and private sectors to collaborate more intentionally than ever before to address effectively. The Strategic Plan for Greater Miami and the Beaches is a 5-year roadmap to outline how the local tourism and hospitality industry can navigate a future ripe with new opportunities amid those challenges. To inform the development of the plan, the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB), in partnership with the InterVISTAS and MMGY NextFactor consultant teams, convened key industry stakeholders, elected officials and hundreds of residents across the county.
