ceremony for Ocoee’s new city<br />
hall. <strong>The</strong> facility is a neoclassical<br />
three-story, structural steel-and-brick<br />
building with more than 46,000<br />
square feet. It brings city services<br />
under one roof, providing an efficient,<br />
modern space for people to<br />
engage in business with Ocoee.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city, along with Wharton-Smith<br />
Inc. Construction Group and HKS<br />
Architects Inc., worked together to<br />
create the vision for the new city hall.<br />
<strong>The</strong> building is energy-efficient with<br />
a reliance on natural and LED lighting.<br />
With a “Health and Wellness”<br />
theme, city departments have ergonomic<br />
workstations, and each floor<br />
has water bottle fillers to encourage<br />
employees to use reusable drinking<br />
cups to reduce the use of plastics.<br />
A wellness room gives employees<br />
a private space for breast feeding<br />
or to take care of any specific<br />
health needs. On the technological<br />
side, the new facility uses the latest<br />
videoconferencing and leadingedge<br />
broadcasting equipment for<br />
Ocoee TV, which airs on Spectrum<br />
Channel 493. <strong>The</strong> building also has<br />
a standby emergency generator<br />
and is constructed from renewable<br />
materials.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new city hall is the centerpiece<br />
of Ocoee’s historic downtown<br />
revitalization. With a $44 million<br />
investment in capital projects and<br />
key infrastructure, the city is committed<br />
to providing its citizens with<br />
a vibrant, more livable community<br />
while maintaining a high standard<br />
of living.<br />

Orlando Health was certified<br />
by Great Place to Work for the<br />
second year in a row. <strong>The</strong> award<br />
is based entirely on what current<br />
employees say about their experiences<br />
working for the company. This<br />
year’s certification was achieved<br />
through completion of a culture audit<br />
and survey of 5,000 randomly<br />
selected team members at Orlando<br />
Health and Bayfront Health St.<br />
Petersburg. To qualify, a minimum<br />
of a 65% average positive response<br />
rate was required. Orlando Health<br />
received an average positive response<br />
rate of 73% across all statements<br />
on the survey, and 74% of<br />
team members who completed the<br />
survey said their organization is a<br />
great place to work, which is 17%<br />
higher than the average U.S. company.<br />
