Osceola County is moving forward with its plans for a new $7.1 million technology library project. The county has identified a location and is now in the process of seeking an architect for the one-story, 8,000-square-foot building. The proposed site is on 9.76 county-owned acres next to the Florida Department of Health at 1875 Fortune Road.
The library will feature a variety of state-of-the-art technology amenities, including a dedicated 3D printer room, an artificial intelligence learning and coding room, a space for virtual and augmented reality, as well as a laser engraver. In addition, there will be a room for e-sports and co-working space for businesses, along with computers available for public use.
This innovative project aims to provide residents with access to cutting-edge technology resources and tools, in order to support education, innovation, and entrepreneurship in the community. The county has issued a request for proposals for an architect to bring this vision to life and create a space that will benefit residents of all ages and interests.
