Design for Non-Profit Resort Focuses on Creativity
The new Towne Hall building at Give Kids The World Village is the fanciful centerpiece of the non-profit resort that provides cost-free, weeklong vacations for children with life-threatening illnesses, and their families. In keeping with the whimsical architecture and child-friendly feeling found throughout the 79-acre resort, the structure is clad in vibrant, primary colors reflecting Towne Hall’s cheerful design and candy-coated theme.
Located in Kissimmee, Fla., Give Kids The World has served more than 140,000 children and families from all 50 states and 75 countries since its founding nearly 30 years ago. The long-awaited 53,000-square-foot Towne Hall building was designed by C.T. Hsu & Associates, Orlando, and built by Welbro Building Corp., also in Orlando. The ground floor of the two-story building houses a themed food court and spacious multi-purpose room. Administrative offices are located on the second floor.
