Innovation Triangle

An integrated destination for arts, leadership education, and hospitality.

Rollins College has broken ground on the new Institute for Management and Executive Leadership as well as a relocated and expanded home for the Rollins Museum of Art.

The Institute and the Museum will join The Alfond Inn to create the Innovation Triangle, a hub for arts, leadership education, and hospitality that is poised to enhance Winter Park’s reputation as a premier cultural destination.
