This marks the eighth reading and learning center for the team in the Central Florida area. The renovation reflects the Magic’s commitment to the advancement of literacy in Orlando, one of the organization’s three charitable focus areas, along with health/wellness and the arts.
Major renovations to Engelwood include new floors, lighting fixtures, paint, furniture, wall wrap, books and table games (pool, ping pong and foosball). Turner Construction made significant contributions to the renovations with floors, paint, lighting fixtures and “built-ins”.
The Magic previously renovated the Nap Ford computer lab; Northwest Community Center Reading and Learning Center; Jackson Community Center computer lab presented by Hunt; Hi-Tech Tutoring Reading and Learning Center; Pine Hills Reading and Learning Center; Dr. James R. Smith Neighborhood Center and the New Image Youth Center in Parramore, all presented by Kia Motors.
