Academic Village

Pembroke Pines, FL

The 80-acre Academic Village encompasses academic, recreational, and cultural resources for the City. Modeled after Thomas Jefferson's Academical Village at the University of Virginia, the campus is anchored by the Pembroke Pines Charter High School and incorporates the Southwest Broward County Regional Library, Broward College, Florida International University, and the River of Grass Cultural Center. Our firm created the educational specifications, programmatic requirements, master plan design, and building character of the entire campus. Pembroke Pines Charter School System was created as a response to unprecedented population growth and an overburdened School District. To expedite construction, the City chose the design/build delivery method. The campus includes high school and college classrooms, laboratories, administrative spaces, library, cafeteria and dining facilities, and theater. Outdoor performance and gallery spaces, Olympic-sized swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts, and 30-acre environmental studies wetland complete the campus.
