For the three-story, 40,000-squarefoot Frost Art Museum, Weymouth has dreamed up several distinctive features that he hopes will "indicate a way forward in museum design in Florida." He has drafted an impressive glass-atrium entrance that visitors will remember for its immediate, clear view to the lake and native trees behind the building. To bring indoors a bit of South Florida's famous and abundant sunshine, he has developed a program that incorporates natural lighting - the very condition under which most artwork is created.

According to FIU Magazine (2003), Weymouth, the FIU Museum architect, has designed the Frost Art Museum to highlight the university's landscape elements like trees, lakes and, obviously, the South Florida sunshine. To do this, he has mostly used glass all around the Museum structure, allowing visitors to enjoy the view and the natural lighting to be indoors.
