Located on the north side of Florida Atlantic University’s Boca Raton campus, Innovation Village brings vibrant, upperclassman housing to life with two seven-story residential buildings designed to foster academic success and community connection. The development supports FAU’s long-term student life goals and aligns with the university’s campus master plan, also developed by PGAL.
