Ajax Building Corporation Completes Clermont Community Center – Press Release
City officials have cut the ribbon for Clermont’s 10,000-square-foot Community Center, a $2 million project for which Ajax Building Corporation served as construction manager.
Ajax provided a full range of management services for the project, consulting on all phases from pre-construction to close-out, including budgeting, permitting, bidding reviews and final inspections, among others.
The building is one story and includes a full kitchen and main auditorium that can seat up to 400, and also be partitioned to split the space into multiple meeting rooms. The Chamber of Commerce occupies 2,000 square feet in the building and will manage the center and its bookings for events like weddings, meetings and receptions.
Architectural firm C.T. Hsu & Associates of Orlando designed the building in the same style as Clermont’s City Hall, which it also designed. Mark Construction served as the general contractor. The facility was built using funds from a one-cent sales tax and park and recreational impact fees.
