A Letter to Lake Nona As I drive in to work each morning, I like to take the long way to get to the office. Navigating through stop lights and side streets, so that I can experience all of the growth within our community. New families moving in, new businesses opening, new faces walking and biking on our trails, new students heading to school, and plenty of new projects in development.

After spending the past 14 years to help to build this incredible community, I’ve embraced taking the long way as not just part of my morning routine, but as a cornerstone of our development philosophy in Lake Nona. We’re long-term developers, invested in seeing this community continue to thrive for generations to come. Since 1996, Tavistock has slowly, thoughtfully grown the Lake Nona community to a place that more than 15,000 residents call home today. And we’re still growing.

We’re creating an environment where people are encouraged to live their best life. Where neighbors celebrate successful tomato plants in the community garden, co-workers bond while experiencing the latest from Central Florida’s talented restaurateurs, children become life-long friends during the walk home from school, and families make lasting memories at our community events. In Lake Nona, our thousands of residents, workers, and students are connected not just by a 17-square-mile boundary, but by a true sense of community.

I’ve had the privilege of watching Lake Nona grow and I am excited to see what’s ahead.

- Rob Adams Vice President of Residential Development Tavistock Development Company

Where you live might be good for your health.

Let’s find out together.

What does living well mean to us? It’s about enjoying a longer, healthier and more prosperous life. As part of that goal, we’re launching our second survey for the Lake Nona Life Project, a multi-generational wellness study created in partnership with Advent Health.

This is our chance to better understand how a community as special as ours can positively affect the wellbeing of its residents and employees. It’s easy to get involved – you just need to live or work in Lake Nona and be willing to take a simple bi-annual survey about your health and lifestyle choices. We’ll use this information, in complete confidence, to find ways to help us live longer, live better and live well.

A B A C K YA R D G U I D E T O C O M P O S T I N G We all know that reducing, reusing and recycling helps save energy and money. But what if you could do even more to cut down greenhouse gas emissions beyond resisting the urge to throw out those empty water bottles? Composting, the process of turning kitchen and yard waste into nutrient-rich soil for your garden, is our new favorite way to go green. Not only does it mean less trash, but it’ll also help you maintain a lush lawn and grow fresh fruits and veggies in your own backyard – no green thumb needed.

Beep co-founder Mark Reid’s journey to Lake Nona was anything but direct. His family was relocating from Jamaica to the Orlando area, and Reid used a list of the top-ten neighborhoods in Central Florida as a roadmap to find their new home.

“After visiting nine different neighborhoods we spent a weekend at the Courtyard Marriott and Residence Inn at Lake Nona Town Center,” said Reid.

“The energy, experiences and technology throughout Lake Nona were unlike anything my family had ever encountered, and we knew immediately this is where we wanted to call home.”

Reid immediately started planting roots in Lake Nona. His family found their new home with, “the perfect floorplan,” in The Preserve at Laureate Park. Next, came a new business inspired by Lake Nona’s innovative community. Not only was he inspired by Lake Nona, but Reid also knew the business would thrive within our collaborative community.

“My passion for finding cutting edge ways to integrate technology to improve quality of life combined with Lake Nona’s smart and connected community led to the creation of Beep, an autonomous mobility solutions provider,” said Reid.

Reid’s background in information technology and telecommunications was the perfect fit. He comes from a family on entrepreneurs, and together with a team of experienced fleet managers and technology entrepreneurs, Beep is creating next generation services for passenger mobility.

5 Ways To Thrive At The Human Performance Institute

The new Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute global headquarters in Lake Nona was impressively designed with the “whole person� in mind. We toured the facility and discovered five fantastic features you must experience.

34

W O R K

Every aspect of the LEED-certified training and research facility is designed to optimize human performance. The new facility doubles the Human Performance Institute’s teaching capacity and puts experience first from start-to-finish. Floor to ceiling windows create clear views of nature with natural light illuminating community spaces. The nod to nature continues the moment you step inside with a plant wall that welcomes guests. The biophilic, natureconnected design principles applied throughout can help reduce stress and improve wellbeing.

The Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute helps individuals and companies maximize energy and improve wellbeing. Professional athletes, corporate “athletes� even hostage rescue teams have benefitted from the courses and enrollment is open to the public. Anyone can sign up for the programming, regardless of your job and the program lengths are flexible.

3

Participants in the 2.5 day Performance course receive a sophisticated body composition analysis inside a Bod Pod, an air displacement plethysmograph that uses whole-body densitometry to determine body composition. The test is non-evasive and complete within five minutes. Trainers apply tailored coaching for participants using the individualized results.

The purpose is to unleash your full potential by blending sciences of performance psychology, exercise physiology, and nutrition to create a comprehensive behavior change solution. Participants learn about physical fitness, and receive tools to continue exercising after they leave.

As you move throughout the property there is a thoughtful approach to addressing physical, mental and emotional needs. Curated scent and sound inspiration energizes and relaxes participants at different points throughout the on-campus experience, drawing upon science that links smell and hearing to memory.

A Look at Lake Nona’s Finest Education Practices and Facilities Valencia College has made its name in the greater Orlando area as one of Florida’s (and the nation’s) top colleges. Opening doors for thousands of students, Valencia’s diverse programming has granted degrees to numerous Lake Nona High School students before they start their first day of college.

This year, the power of Lake Nona’s collaborative learning environment produced the highest number of graduates from Lake Nona High School and Valencia College’s Collegiate Academy. In 2019, 29 Collegiate Academy students received A.A. degrees and their high school diplomas – a new record for the program that celebrated its 10th anniversary this year.

Since beginning in 2009, the Collegiate Academy program has offered students advanced opportunities in multiple areas of academic and professional interest with dedicated faculty and advisors to support and encourage students. The program allows Lake Nona High School students to build a highly competitive academic profile that exceeds the scope of traditional high school programs with the financial benefit of no tuition, book costs, or program fees. Because of the proximity of Lake Nona High School to Valencia College, Collegiate Academy students can also continue in other high school classes, sports, and extracurricular programs during the school year.

With more growth on the horizon, we sat down with Executive Dean Dr. Mike Bosley of Valencia’s Lake Nona campus to talk about the school’s business success, future plans, and direct impact on the Lake Nona community.

Lake Nona: We all know that our Lake Nona community is a special place, but can you tell us what makes Valencia’s Lake Nona Campus unique?

Dr. Mike Bosley: Capitalizing on the spirit of innovation and community in Lake Nona has been one of the most important accomplishments at the Lake Nona Campus. Like the Lake Nona community, we welcome students from a wide variety of educational backgrounds – from honors students who are part of our Collegiate Academy to adult learners who are transitioning to a new career -- and work hard to help them achieve their goals. We have created a welcoming environment

40

for all students and our greater community that allows us to meet students where they are and help them achieve their goals.

Lake Nona: The campus has grown so much since opening. How many students are currently enrolled at the Lake Nona campus?

Dr. Mike Bosley: We currently serve 8,000 students in credit and non-credit programs each year.

Lake Nona: What are some of Valencia’s strongest and most popular programs? Are there any specialty programs (in-class or extra-curricular) that prospective students should note?

Dr. Mike Bosley: Valencia’s Lake Nona Campus offers all of the courses to help students achieve the Associate of Arts degree which allows for University transfer. Additionally, our students have access to all of the bachelor’s degrees Valencia College offers, including two new programs in Business and Software Development. And, we’re proud that the Lake Nona campus offers an Associate of Science degree in Biotechnology Laboratory Sciences, which is a hands-on science program that provides students with tremendous opportunities in the growing life sciences industry in Lake Nona. continued on next page

Lake Nona: What do you consider to be the Lake Nona campus’ greatest asset?

Dr. Mike Bosley: It is hard to limit myself to just one asset, so I will mention two: Our people, which includes our faculty staff, and students, and our facility. You can build a beautiful campus of the future, but without amazing faculty and staff and engaged students, it is just another building. We are very proud of our contributions to the greater Lake Nona Community and we could not be so successful without our people.

Lake Nona: Being positioned within a state-of-the-art community like Lake Nona can certainly open doors to new opportunities. What are the benefits to being a school positioned within the community?

Dr. Mike Bosley: Access to scientists, industries and medical partners that bring real-world experiences in to our classrooms. Currently Lake Nona has partnered with the college to support a new position that will serve as an Education Ambassador in the community.

The ambassador will link business and industry with our education partners to develop community-wide education initiatives, I am very excited about this new position and look forward to seeing the results.

Lake Nona: Do you have any partnerships

42

with neighboring universities within Lake Nona? How do you promote continued education with these partners?

Dr. Mike Bosley: Our largest partnership is with UCF. In 2019, UCF and Valencia will open a joint campus in Downtown Orlando. All Valencia students are eligible to participate in Direct Connect to UCF, which provides guaranteed admission for our graduates. And here at the Lake Nona Campus, we have a partnership with Florida Institute of Technology, which offers coursework for FIT’s Bachelor’s Degree in Logistics Management on our campus. That program has been very popular with our returning veterans. Lastly our Biotechnology program partners with Biotility, which provides the BASE exam to our school teachers and students in biotechnology course throughout Central Florida. We are also building a partnership with the UF School of Pharmacy. These partnerships are important to the success of each our institutions and allow our students to take their courses close to home.

Lake Nona: What do you see for the future of Valencia? And our community?

Dr. Mike Bosley: Valencia College is here to serve the growing needs of Orange and Osceola Counties and we stand ready to create opportunities for all students to learn, whether that be in a credit class toward a degree or a language

or construction continuing education program. Meeting the needs of a growing diverse community is a challenge we are excited about and the Lake Nona Campus is just one example of how we are fulfilling our community promise. I believe the Lake Nona community’s innovative partnerships can serve as a catalyst for the larger Central Florida community and model for communities.

Lake Nona: What’s your favorite thing about working at the Lake Nona campus?

Dr. Mike Bosley: I get excited each and every day when I approach our campus and know that we have the opportunity to change people’s lives by providing the highest quality most cost-effective education in our community. We have the ability to change lives and that is just awesome!

Lake Nona: What is something people would be surprised to know about Valencia?

Dr. Mike Bosley: Valencia is one on the largest and most successful colleges in the country. The citizens of Central Florida are so fortunate to have access to this type of education. It is only through our partnership with the greater community that we can be so successful. Our students are working throughout the world, making an impact on their communities.

ART IS IN OUR DNA

At the heart of every good community is a blend of arts and culture. From public art installations and live music to cinema events and access to Orlando’s greatest artistic institutions, Lake Nona offers plenty of chances to kick back, relax, and be inspired by work from some of the most iconic artists of our times. In Lake Nona, arts and culture are truly parts of our DNA. As master-planners, Tavistock Development Company recognizes the value the arts play in shaping a community. It’s not just the hardware – buildings, roads, and homes, it’s the software – community events, public art, and live entertainment, that truly activates a space and makes it memorable. And that’s our goal, to engage people at a higher level so they leave the places we create with a sense of belonging.

Tavistock’s thoughtful planning has made Lake Nona an innovative community known for doing things differently and doing them better.

Prioritizing art ensures unique, memorable experiences for people in Lake Nona.

The arts are also an important part of achieving Lake Nona’s mission to inspire human potential.

The wellbeing of residents, employees, and visitors is a priority that’s illustrated in everything we do from hosting a longitudinal health study to the way we design neighborhoods. Studies have shown the arts make valuable contributions to health and wellbeing, so it’s another factor in planning the community. And when people engage with art, it also stimulates learning.

The priority is to find the best artists to bring the space to life and to incorporate not only different artists but different art forms from sculptures, murals, and music to digital art with projectionmapping.

Lake Nona is home to dozens of art pieces that feature different art forms including sculptures, murals, digital art, and live performances.

Glass House

Pixon Exterior Mural – Equinox

Situated in Laureate Park near Canvas Market is “Glass House,” a stunning work of installation art conceived and constructed by Brooklynbased artist Tom Fruin. This is one piece in Fruin’s ongoing ICON Series, which has included pieces installed in Brooklyn, New York and across Europe. Each work in the series is site-specific and monumental, and “Glass House” is no different. It utilizes reclaimed materials and pulls cues from sustainable urban design and American folk art, all while eliciting the spiritual qualities of stained glass.

48

Cecilia Lueza was part of an artist call for entries announced in early 2018. Artists from around the nation submitted artwork for a chance to be featured on the exterior of Pixon. Cecilia was inspired by the colors and brightness of Florida.

“For this piece I wanted to incorporate that Florida vibe and also capture the dynamics of everyday life and create a sensation of movement with shapes and color,” said Cecilia.

Pixon Ceiling Mural

Fusion

Columbian graffiti artist, LeDania was inspired by Lake Nona itself for the interior ceiling art found inside Pixon’s main lobby. She wanted to create a feeling that a person is looking at a reflection of Lake Nona and the sky for her mural.

“Fusion,” is a sculpture by Lake Nona public artist JERFE. The piece is located on the exterior lounge of Chroma Modern Bar + Kitchen, which harnesses its inspiration from the restaurant’s colorful small plate menu and serves as an artistic extension of “The Beacon and Code Wall.”

Beacon and Code Wall

Global Angel Wings Project

At the heart of Lake Nona’s Town Center stands “The Beacon and Code Wall” by Lake Nona public artist JERFE. “The Beacon” is a six-story landmark that comes to life at night with a visual experience of video, music and interactive elements. Alongside stands “Code Wall,” an installation of specialized dichroic glass with imagery and messages written in binary code.

Colette Miller created the Global Angel Wings Project in 2012, in the streets of Los Angeles, the City of Angels. They were painted to remind humanity that we are the angels of this earth.

They are human sized interactive wings that people take photos with and thus become part of the artwork. Colette has painted wings globally - Kenya, Australia, England, Japan, Taiwan, France, Cuba, Juarez Mexico and more, and right here in Lake Nona.
