Cisco Names Lake Nona the First Iconic Smart+Connected City in U.S.
BAM has recently been working with Lake Nona on their Medical City located in central Florida. The campus is planned around the idea that multiple facilities working in tandem accelerates innovation. Lake Nona Medical City promises to become home to top medical institutions and is already making Orlando a global destination for health care. Lake Nona is working with the Sanford-Burnham Research Institute and the University of Florida’s Academic & Research Center to provide top quality health care and economic opportunity for central Florida.
Technology giants, such as Cisco, have recognized the potential of the Medical City and have partnered with Lake Nona to help realize the project’s full potential. The Orlando Sentinel reported that Cisco, “named Lake Nona an Iconic Smart + Connected City, a designation granted to only eight other cities in the world.” Cisco’s president of globalization and Smart+Connected Communities, Anil Menon, stated, “Lake Nona has the honor to be the first city in the United States to receive this distinction.”
BAM is excited to continue our work with Lake Nona, providing design and consulting for the Medical City.
