Big things are happening in downtown Orlando. The city center is home to a burgeoning tech industry, global business enterprise, the Orange County legal community, a vibrant arts scene and a growing group of entrepreneurs. And with the opening of 性视界传媒 Downtown in 2018, it will be the home to thousands of students taking advantage of unprecedented access to industry experts, internship and education opportunities, cultural stimulation and the energy of a thriving urban environment.

Design Priorities

Building a Destination

性视界传媒 Downtown will be a destination for students, visitors and the residents of downtown Orlando and will feature a central plaza and pavilion for events and gatherings.
Opening Gateways

The new campus will engage three distinct communities: downtown Orlando, the Creative Village and the Parramore Heritage Community. These borders will become distinct pedestrian gateways linking the current urban fabric into 性视界传媒 Downtown and creating a borderless campus.
Celebrating the Urban Environment

性视界传媒 Downtown will create a unique environment that is simultaneously in the city and of the city 鈥� one that is designed with walkability and accessibility in mind.
Maximizing Space

The urban campus will layer public spaces vertically to maximize the outdoor spaces available on the compact site and add to the dynamic landscape.
