On December 5th, 2007, during the Florida Institute of Technology 50th Anniversary Campaign, Harris Corporation gifted a $5 million fund. A portion of the fund was allocated to the construction of the 8,000 sq. ft.  L3Harris Institute for Assured Information, found in the south academic quadrangle on campus. The space is located in the L3Harris Center for Science and Engineering Center. The rest of the funds have gone toward the L3Harris Endowed Chair in Assured Information and to support students of Florida Tech. Furthermore, L3Harris continued support of student research projects in the next following years.
