Osceola County has announced plans for a new technology library project, which will be located on 9.76 county-owned acres next to the Florida Department of Health at 1875 Fortune Road. The $7.1 million building will feature cutting-edge technology and resources, including a dedicated 3D printer room, an artificial intelligence learning and coding room, a space for virtual and augmented reality, and a laser engraver. Additionally, the building will have a room for e-sports and co-working space for businesses, as well as computers available for public use.
This project represents a significant investment in the community and will provide residents with access to state-of-the-art technology. Interested individuals can learn more about the project by visiting the Orlando Business Journal’s website or downloading free news, weather, and smart TV apps for updates on the project.

Osceola County has issued a request for proposals for an architect for the one-story, 8,000-square-foot facility. The conceptual floor plan includes several cutting-edge features that are designed to enhance the user experience and promote innovation in the field of technology. The dedicated 3D printer room will allow users to create their own custom objects using advanced 3D printing technology. The artificial intelligence learning and coding room will provide an interactive environment for students to learn programming languages and develop their skills in artificial intelligence. The virtual and augmented reality space will offer immersive experiences that transport users to different worlds or enhance their understanding of complex concepts. The laser engraver will enable users to create detailed designs on various materials such as wood, plastic, and metal.
The e-sports room will provide a platform for gamers to compete against each other in organized tournaments while the co-working space will give entrepreneurs and small business owners an opportunity to collaborate and grow their businesses. With these features, the new technology library is set to become a hub of innovation in Osceola County.
