Described by TIME magazine as “The Harvard of the Sky,” Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) is the world’s largest aviation and aerospace university. The school’s 185-acre campus in Daytona Beach serves 6,000 students and dates to 1965. After the former administrative building was destroyed by a tornado, the University called on Gresham Smith to turn tragedy into opportunity. The new 30,000-square-foot Jim Henderson Administration and Welcome Center is an iconic building that has become ERAU’s defining image.
