A ribbon-cutting event was held recently for a US$70 million AdventHealth Training Center in Central Florida. The newly built facility is a collaboration between the non-profit AdventHealth, the DeVos family, and the Orlando Magic basketball team. In addition to providing a training site for Orlando Magic, the facility will also serve as a sports medicine hub.
The AdventHealth Training Center is a 130,000-square-foot development situated at South Division Avenue and West Central Boulevard. A large portion of the facility is occupied by Orlando Magic’s sports facility, while the AdventHealth sports-medicine center occupies just 33,300-square-feet. HOK was in charge of the designs and Balfour Beatty handled construction on the project.
Design of the AdventHealth Training Center
The sports facility at the AdventHealth Training Center was designed to include some of the most technologically advanced amenities. Alex Martin, Magic’s CEO said tracking mechanisms have been installed in the rafters to analyze the movement of all players. Furthermore, it incorporates several sustainable building technologies, such as daylighting and sun shading, stormwater management, and advanced lighting systems with controls.
