Filming

Florida International University (FIU) offers a vibrant and versatile setting for film, television, commercial photography, and student productions. With two main campuses — Modesto A. Maidique (MMC) and Biscayne Bay Campus (BBC) — FIU provides a wide range of unique backdrops, from cutting-edge labs and academic buildings to lush green spaces and waterfront views.

Our stunning campuses present a wide variety of location possibilities for your upcoming film, video, or photography production. We offer both exterior and interior shooting options. FIU features natural areas, distinctive architectural landmarks, the S.T.A.R. Center (ideal for hospital or clinical settings), conference rooms, lobbies, and state-of-the-art auditoriums — all adaptable to suit your production’s vision.

Florida International University is more than just a top-tier institution — it's a sought-after destination for filming and event rentals in South Florida. FIU has served as the backdrop for commercials, television shows, student films, and even a presidential town hall. With striking architecture, lush outdoor spaces, and adaptable indoor venues, our campus offers the ideal setting to bring any creative project or special event to life.

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. Therefore, a written permission to use any of the university’s property for filming and still photography for entertainment, commercial or freelance purposes is required.

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.
