Design Concept

At the December 12, 2024, Pulse Memorial Advisory Council Meeting, design assistants presented a refined design concept for the future memorial. This concept incorporated elements that gained a consensus amongst committee members, survivors and families of the victims.

This concept is available for public view and open to feedback. You can provide feedback at engage.orlando.gov.

For reference, below image is of the current Pulse site:

Refined Design Concept

The below conceptual design includes:

• A Memorial and Reflection Space: Formed by the footprint of the original Pulse building 
• A Reflection Pool: Positioned where the dance floor was, symbolizing peace and remembrance 
• 49 Columns: Each column honors one of the 49 victims
• Private Gathering Space: Providing a quiet space for personal reflection
• A Healing and Prism Garden: A garden designed to represent hope and healing
• Educational Pavilion: Intended as a respectful space to reflect on the historical significance of the site, and pay tribute to loved ones who are commemorated
