Building a new government center takes more than time and effort; it also takes a lot of construction materials! Here are some interesting facts about the City Center project.

City Center will have 547 wood doors. If you laid all of these doors end to end they would stretch 4,376 feet. That is more than 8/10 of a mile If you started laying the doors down end to end on Clematis Street by the railroad tracks near City Center on Quadrille Boulevard, the doors would run the entire length of Clematis Street towards Lake Worth, and the last doors would fall into the water!

City Center will have 17,439 sheets of drywall. If they were laid side by side, they would cover nearly 15 football fields! Laid end to end, the drywall sheets would stretch almost 40 miles!

With over 40,600 ceiling tiles, the ceiling tile alone would cover nearly 3-3/4 acres and if laid end to end would stretch nearly 15 miles!

The project includes 24,071 square yards of carpet, which amounts to 216,000 square feet, covering at least 3-3/4 acres. If all that carpet was laid out in a one foot wide strip, it would stretch more than 41 miles.

If you took the paint that will cover the interior walls, you could paint all of Clematis Street from Tamarind Avenue to Flagler Drive, curb to curb, almost five times! That’s almost three and a half miles of road! You could also paint a one foot wide stripe 147 miles long, which is almost enough to paint from City Center to Orlando!
