The UCF College of Medicine is another significant addition to the Lake Nona Medical

which required extraordinary preplanning to install the 275,000 square feet of
drywall, 200,000 lineal feet of light gauge metal framing, and 90,000 square feet of
acoustical ceiling systems. The two–story atrium consists of two round Glass Fiber
Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG) domes which contain thousands of fiber optic lights.
Kenpat assembled the pie–shaped pieces suspended from the structure above to
create the circular soffit for anchoring points for the GFRG dome pieces.
This 170,000 square foot, four–story project contains extensive systems including
access control, video surveillance, data, Wi–Fi, digital media, (LEED ® ) lighting
controls, CATV, intercom, paging and fire alarm systems installed by the innovative
ability of Quinco Electrical’s craftsmen.
