The Tampa Skills Center is a 55,000 sf facility designed to support youth development through athletics, academics, and workforce training. The project incorporates both adaptive reuse and new construction, revitalizing a site that had remained vacant for over 30 years.

The center features a 20,000 sf gymnasium, a multi-sport event space, an esports and STEM learning lab, workforce training rooms, and administrative offices. The facility’s functional programming establishes an environment that fosters education, career development, and community engagement.

Beyond its role as a hub for youth and professional growth, the Tampa Skills Center is expected to generate over 180 jobs and contribute $25 million in economic benefits to the East Tampa community. The project underscores the firm’s commitment to community-driven design as it transforms an underutilized site into a dynamic space that empowers individuals and strengthens the surrounding neighborhood.
