Ruffin Rhodes

ORLANDO, FL – Rhodes+Brito is nearing completion of the design of two Orange County Public Schools projects that totals more $16 million.

Ruffin Rhodes, co-founder and partner at Rhodes+Brito Architects, said his firm was assigned the design of the $14.8 million Comprehensive Project at Dover Shores Elementary School at 1200 Gaston Foster Rd. off of S. Conway and Curry Ford Rds.   

The Dover Shores project is in the early construction stage of a new building and renovation of one existing building.  Construction got underway in June and the elementary school will be ready to accommodate 644 students for the fall 2018 school year. 

Rhodes+Brito are in the process of designing the athletic fields’ replacement and expansion at Jackson Middle which is located at 6000 Stonewall Jackson Rd. off of LaCosta Drive and Semoran Blvd.  Jackson Middle and Engelwood Elementary are located on adjacent properties.

Construction of the middle school’s $2 million athletic fields is scheduled to begin in the summer of 2018 and involves the track/soccer field, volleyball courts and parking area relocated to another area of the school property. The new fields and courts will replace the earlier Engelwood campus currently serving as the “swing school” once Dover Shores is completed.
