Seminole County Master Plan

The CGL/Dewberry Team was retained by Seminole County in April 2019 to develop a centralized and consolidated government campus master plan for the 5 Points Complex. With the large inventory of buildings and properties, Seminole County is continually faced with making critical decisions about fiscally responsible and service effective allocation of funds. The goal of this master planning process is to identify short and long-term facility needs and to create a framework to address these needs in the most effective and efficient manner.

Our Team’s four-phase process creates solution to achieve the major project goals identified by the Board of County Commissioners and will guide Seminole County over the next 20 years. The four phase process included: facility vision, goals, and demands, business case development, program development and final plan and report.

In addition to the 5 Points Complex Master Plan, the Team was retained to prepare a Basis of Design for the Design/Build project to: (1) address the need to relocate functions at/near the Civil Courthouse to/near the Criminal Justice Courthouse, and (2) address overcrowding and non-Sheriff functions in the Public Safety Building. The summary business case by project included a capital improvement program of $555 million and includes 17 projects across a variety of government functions. The CGL Team was retained to prepare Design Criteria Packages for three projects on the Five Points Campus in Sanford: the expansion of the Criminal Justice Center, the Sheriff’s new Emergency Operations Center and a new parking garage. The DCP’s included complete space programs and project narratives, detailed specifications, conceptual site plans and building plans.
