    Florida International University owns the exclusive rights to images of its building, grounds, landmarks and all other property. We own all the exclusive rights to our name, marks and official symbols.

    FIU protects its name and landmarks from inappropriate commercial use but strives to cooperate with film producers and photographers interested in using FIU’s facilities.
