Private schools have always suffered from the fiscal demand of necessary
physical plant which could only be afforded by the public sector,
financed by tax payers. The demand for education space as a commercial
development company presented an opportunity to be considered. After
many years of developing education facilities on campuses owned by
others, including church based schools, F.P. Dino, Inc. began a mission
to identify and acquire property to develop as investor held lease
backs.
Obstacles frequently arise when a construction critical path schedule is
implemented. Breaking a mandated deadline and having to tell hundreds of
families they would have to find another school to attend was not an
option when the schedule was initially engaged. A timeline like this
would require hard work, determination and the attention to detail that
comes with subsequent codes and regulations while constructing an
educational facility. The F.P. Dino project management team along with
their contractors and consultants had to adopt a resilient mindset to
meet the path of completion.
As a result “The Coral Park Education Center” was born. Coral Park is an
infill institutional park between the communities of Heron Bay and
Wyndam Heights, in the busy metropolitan market of Coral Springs,
Florida. This commercial development has both line of sight as well as
immediate proximity to the Sawgrass Expressway. The development is
comprised of (3) separate buildings of 12,000; 30,000; and 30,000 square
feet respectively (totaling 72,000 square feet. The total land area of
these parcels combined is just over (5) acres. The entire site is fully
improved with all the infrastructure including: water, sewer, storm
drains, irrigation lake, lighting, landscaping, privacy walls, dumpster
enclosures, paved loop roads and parking.
This facility is fully leased to public school management companies in
partnership with the Broward School District and the Florida Department
of Education. This ultra suburban class A park plays education host to a
number of sprawling communities throughout Broward County, filling an
urgent need for both conventional and alternate education.
The physical plants qualify for green building certification and may
serve (in the event of a storm) as an evacuation shelter for students
and nearby residents. The structures are steel reinforced concrete
floors and walls; doors and windows are active hurricane impact glass;
and roofs are steel trusses supporting concrete tile. The building
facades reflect the neo-traditional elevations reflected by the
surrounding architecture. They have been carefully designed in harmony
with the environments of the neighboring residential properties. Coral
Park stands complete as a leading exhibit of modern design and function
for commercial buildings capable of serving a large array of end users.
After years of challenging exertion and a great deal of fortitude there
is a vast sense of accomplishment when attending a ground breaking
ceremony in front of the many students, their families, faculty and
staff of the institution geared up to open their doors for the first
time to embark on the journey of education.
