Highlighted Project Experience Electronic Arts, Orlando Headquarters - Creative Village, Orlando, FL: The new Electronic Arts building is a five-story office building built on a 1.8-acre parcel at the new Creative Village in downtown Orlando. The company is going to move its 700 employees to this $62 million, 180,000 square-foot facility. Creative Village is an urban innovation district near downtown Orlando that currently houses the UCF and Valencia college downtown campuses, new housing and retail options. Forefront assisted in the specialty engineering of the cold-formed steel design for the themed façade wall and the entire front of the building including: the roof, overhangs, and the 1st-floor exterior ceiling work. Paul was contracted for Engineering support on this project. The Awning Factory, Warehouse Expansion, Orlando, FL: Paul was contracted as Engineering support on this project. The project incorporates a structural steel frame and cold-formed steel walls, supported by a shallow concrete foundation system. This strategic choice ensures a sturdy and durable structure, capable of accommodating the functional needs of The Awning Factory’s operations. The shallow concrete foundation system supports the entire structure, distributing the load evenly to the ground. This approach minimizes the need for extensive excavation and simplifies the construction process, leading to efficient project management and cost savings. IMG Academy, East Campus Main Gymnasium, Bradenton, FL: The Cold Formed Steel on this project was used to make the exterior façade of the building. East Campus is the site of the original Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy, the precursor to IMG Academy. Established in 1978, it served as the foundation for the world-renowned boarding school. As the school continues to grow and achieve new levels of success, facility upgrades were needed for their nationally ranked tennis and basketball programs. The East Campus Gym presents a discernible shift from the scale of the surrounding structures. As such, it serves as a focal point and gateway to the East Campus. A guard stand to mirror that of the West Campus was added to assist in creating a visible point of entry. The facility features a 14,000 sf ground floor center core. The inviting corridor leads visitors through the IMG Hall of Fame and to home and visitor locker rooms, athletic training, public restrooms, team changing rooms, concessions and storage space. To the south, the basketball practice area totals 44,500 sf. Designed to support practice, game and tournament play, the space houses three practice courts and one championship court.
