The FAU Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute building, located on the MacArthur campus in Jupiter, has issues, forcing most occupants of the building to move out for approximately six months.  

FAU partnered with the Sitiles-Nicholson Foundation to develop this institute, which opened on Jan. 19, 2023. The Insititute’s mission is to promote research, education and community outreach through all of the FAU campuses. It is a place of “state-of-the-art research and innovative education activities,” according to the Institute’s website.

“The Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute building on FAU’s MacArthur campus in Jupiter is undergoing an evaluation of its building services systems due to some apparent malfunctions,” FAU Associate Vice President for Public Affairs and Media Relations Joshua Glanzer wrote in an email. “In an abundance of caution, most of the occupants of the building have moved to alternate spaces on the Jupiter campus while these issues are evaluated and addressed. Initial estimates suggest the project may take up to six months, but it is far too early to establish a firm time frame. The Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute’s work and operations will be uninterrupted during this time.”
