PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Dover Shores Community Center project involved the construction of a new 4,000 square foot multipurpose facility and renovations to the existing community center. Completed in October 2005 at a cost of $1 million, this construction management initiative enhanced recreational opportunities for the Dover Shores neighborhood in Orlando. Beginning in March 2005, the seven-month project delivered versatile community spaces designed to accommodate diverse programming needs, including a divisible multipurpose room, food preparation area with dual service capabilities, and specialized recreational facilities. The completed center represents the City of Orlando’s commitment to providing quality community spaces that support social connection, recreation, and neighborhood engagement. Through thoughtful design and construction, the project successfully expanded the existing community center’s capabilities while adding unique recreational amenities rarely found in urban community facilities.
