Locating The Florida Center on the Johns building site is ideal. It will:

• Anchor the Capital City Cultural Corridor which includes: The Capitol, Mary Brogan Museum for Arts and Science, The Challenger Center, Imax Theater, Supreme Court, Kleman Plaza, City Hall, The Museum of Florida History at the R.A. Gray Building
• Enhance an 18 hour downtown day
• Provide perfect topography for walking from / to downtown
• Create opportunity to view a building of architectural significance from City Hall
• Reduce conflict with Civic Center traffic and parking
• Maintain synergy between Civic Center and the Performing Arts Center
• Reinforce public perception of ease of access to Performing Arts Center
• Allow easy access to school buses and semi trucks needing to unload for performances
• Link downtown to Gaines Street redevelopment
• Create a strong entertainment venue, anchoring east end of Gaines Street
• Provide opportunity to connect plazas and green spaces with activity
• Utilize the existing 6500 parking spaces
