About Orange County
Orange County is a rapidly growing metropolitan area of more than one million residents that contains the City of Orlando and a dozen other municipalities. We are a minority majority community with over 160 languages spoken in the public schools. A recent study indicates that by 2030 Orlando may be the most diverse major metro area in the world. The county values innovation, collaboration and inclusion.
Project Description
The Orange County Multi-Cultural Center is located in Pine Hills, one of Orlando’s first suburbs developed in the early 1950’s. This community is a diverse tapestry of world cultures from the Caribbean Islands to Asia and defined by family, faith, pride and resiliency.
The Orange County Multi-Cultural Center will serve as a hub for community activities. A place where all are welcomed and included with opportunities to learn, connect and celebrate. An inclusive space where art and culture come together and where dreams are realized as opportunities for all generations are opened.
Phase II of the Orange County Multi-Cultural Center will house a computer lab and conference rooms, a community gallery and a large multi-purpose space for hosting social events, theatrical performances and more.
