e e 14 RFO No. 14 -07 -02 Surfside Community Center Surfside, FL Key Personnel: Nina Gladstone, Ovidio Rodriquez Section 2 AECOM Key Biscayne Government Center and Police Headquarters Key Biscayne, FL Key Personnel: Nina Gladstone, Ovidio Rodriquez The Town of Surfside, Florida selected AECOM to provide comprehensive planning and design services for their new 16,000 SF Community Center located on the ocean in this midcentury modern inspired community. This new facility will replace a 1960's era building that had become functionally obsolete and will provide community gathering spaces, a library, an aquatic center and outdoor recreation amenities for the Town. The completed new community center floats a raised second floor over the smaller ground floor uses to allow views through to the ocean beyond; the architectural palette of smooth stucco, geometric sun - screening devices and glass mosaic the becomes a contemporary reinterpretation of the 1950's architectural style that is seen in both the commercial and residential architecture of the community. The Administration and Police Building of Key Biscayne is composed of 33,158 SF of program that includes police and public works related functions. AECOM was selected as the Architect and Engineer for the Administration and Police Buildings. The Administration and Police building is designed around a two -story landscaped and paved courtyard connecting the pedestrian circulation from the main McIntyre Street building entrance with a pedestrian garage entrance to the south. The courtyard functions both as a public gathering space and as a means to provide natural light and air to the internal facing office areas. AECOM also provided planning for the 144 car parking garage, which would carry the same architectural elements of the buildings. The project was master planned and designed as a low -scale campus environment, open and accessible to all citizens. The center is located adjacent to the Village's main public park and was designed to complement the other major civic components (fire station and community center) of the Government Center campus.
