The location would be on a yet-to-be-determined site in Osceola’s District 2 region, which includes northern communities like Buena Ventura Lakes.

Some features include learning labs with technology, as well as facilities for 3D printing and audio and video production. It also would include resources tied to emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, virtual reality and augmented reality, and co-working space.
