UCF Global, a 54,780 gsf LEED Gold Certified project, serves as the primary campus hub for more than 2,000 international students, as well as faculty and staff. The building contains over 40 offices and over 20 classrooms. The building opened in 2016 and includes the English Language Institute, Travel Abroad programs, and Undergraduate and Graduate support programs. UCF Global is the first project on campus to use a chilled beam HVAC system, circulating chilled water above the ceilings to individual chilled beams, which, in turn, function as radiators to heat or cool individual spaces. UCF Global earned several awards for its progressive and energy efficient design:

• Florida Educational Facilities Planners Association (FEFPA) First Place Design Award, 2017
• United States Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED New Construction Project of the Year (Florida Chapter), 2017
• Orange County Sustainable Project of the Year Award, 2017
