Florida Nature and Culture Center

Weston, FL

Situated on 130-acres in Western Broward County, the 157,000 square foot Florida Nature and Culture Center provides recreational, housing, classrooms, conference, gift shop, and dining facilities. STH in concert with land planner EDSA, focused the primary buildings of the 15-acre retreat around a quadrangle, comparable to a college campus. Containing 100 private rooms, the hospitality buildings can accommodate 200 beds. STH designed the multi-purpose building complex complete with a 25-meter, 8 lap pool, basketball courts, a gymnasium with locker rooms, and associated fitness trails. A system of pedestrian pathways leads visitors along the waterfront to an open air amphitheater and open recreational area. Multiple auditoriums and a welcome center round out the amenities.

STH Recently won the 1998 Palm Beach County AIA Award for Excellence in Design for this project!
