University of Central Florida Downtown Campus

Orlando, FL

University of Central Florida is redefining the future of “America’s Partnership University” by creating an innovative living-learning environment that immerses university and college students in the hub of an economic and cultural activity of a major metropolitan area. More than 10 years in the making, VHB is helping to bring UCF’s vision to reality, from campus master planning, to navigating site development issues, including transportation and access, utilities and infrastructure redevelopment, and an open space and urban design framework.
