ORLANDO, FL---
Rhodes+Brito, an Orlando architectural firm, recently completed design work for
a major renovation project – Destination Lounge – at the Orange County

Brito said the Destination
Lounge features state-of-the-art technology.
The 7,311 square foot lounge was designed as a place for people
attending conventions and conferences at OCCC to slip away, plug in laptops,
iPads or smart phones and even access giant screens from their devices. Plans include a bar and uniquely designed
contemporary furniture.
Brito said the Destination
Lounge project is part of a continuing architectural services contract the firm
has with Orange County to provide miscellaneous architectural and engineering
services for County projects not to exceed $2 million.
As part of that ongoing
contract, Rhodes+Brito and Pillar Construction recently completed Vision
Gardens at OCCC, consisting of two interior climate-controlled vegetable
gardens with planters.
Vision Gardens
is located adjacent to the west building entrance at the complex and is being
cultivated to grow vegetables and spices for use in the center’s concession
areas and future outdoor cafes.
Destination Lounge and
Vision Gardens are part of Orange County’s overall plan to “recreate the
convention center” implementing projects to be more Green and appeal more to
millenials, Brito explained.
