Benefits of Full Redevelopment
• New construction allows for a modern, state of the art design. This will allow for more flexible and efficient spaces.
• Building MEP systems above and below ground will be new and efficient and designed to function with one another.
• Ability to ensure proper mobility and ADA access throughout the facility.
• Feedback on design / layout is not constrained by existing building location, major structural and mechanical components which can’t be moved, or other onsite amenities that would otherwise minimize opportunities for an expanded footprint.
• Any effort to improve the site/building either through renovation or new construction should incorporate appropriate homage to historical events and people significant to Florence Villa and Northeast Winter Haven.
