Freedom Tower Undergoing Extensive Exterior Repairs

The Freedom Tower is currently undergoing renovations.

“Windows and flat roofs are being replaced to avoid moisture in the building,” said Juan Mendieta, director of communications at Miami Dade College. “Cracks and holes are also being repaired.”

The project is being funded by a $500,000 grant by the U.S. Department of Interior and is expected to last until June.

Mendieta said that the exterior repairs do not affect the interior of the facility and upcoming events are planned to take place at the Tower.
