When the University of Central Florida and Valencia College needed an event company to help them break ground on a new Downtown Campus, they turned to PTE Productions for a fresh new spin.
PTE put a fun, Florida spin on the traditional groundbreaking, bringing in a decorative sand sculpture that officials could sink their ceremonial shovels into.
This assignment was history in the making--UCF and Valencia are embarking on one of the biggest community education projects ever in Orlando, Fla.
PTE Productions sets the stage, transforming a simple dirt patch into a full-blown venue.
PTE drew on its events experience, setting up a festival-style stage flanked with custom banners featuring renderings of the future buildings. The project is slated to open in 2019.
