In 1989, the Florida Legislature recognized demands for higher education in South Florida by designating Florida Atlantic as the lead state university serving Broward County. To fill this role, the university would establish a campus in Dania Beach in 1997 and another campus in the City of Davie in western Broward County in 1990. Florida Atlantic later purchased 50 acres (0.2 km²) of land in Port St. Lucie in 1994 to establish a campus on the Treasure Coast. This would be the institution's fifth campus. The university continued its expansion in 1999 when it opened its Jupiter Campus, named for the late John D. MacArthur. This campus currently houses the university's honors college.

FAU campuses can be found throughout the southeast Florida region. One of FAU's newest campuses is located in Dania Beach. Known as SeaTech, the campus is a marine and ocean engineering facility. There is a 110,000-square-foot classroom/office building in Davie, adjacent to the central campus of Broward Community College. In addition, an Education and Science building on the Davie campus is home to programs in education and science as well as state-of-the-art laboratories. The downtown Fort Lauderdale Campus primarily offers graduate programs in the busy city center.
