The Freedom Tower - 100 years

In 2025, Miami’s first skyscraper turns 100. In celebration of this milestone, Miami Dade College is developing immersive multimedia exhibitions that highlight the Freedom Tower’s iconic history—from its early days as the Miami Daily News headquarters to its role as the Cuban Refugee Center, where hundreds of thousands of Cuban exiles were welcomed to the United States.

Support the creation of a world-class museum experience at the intersection of democracy, freedom, and education by becoming a Friend of the Freedom Tower.
