University of Florida College of Design, Construction and Planning Dean Chimay Anumba<\/a> formally announced the DCP Gallery has been renamed the John and Anne Sofarelli Family Gallery. A public ribbon-cutting ceremony took place April 15, 2022, at the School of Architecture<\/a> Building featuring the Sofarelli family, faculty, students, staff and friends of the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis Gallery is a wonderful way to honor Anne,\u201d said John Sofarelli<\/a>, a 1981 graduate of the M.E. Rinker, Sr. School of Construction Management<\/a>. \u201cAnne had a lifelong passion for education, which is embodied in this bright, open space for professors and students to showcase their creativity and talents for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to a generous gift from the Sofarelli family, students have recently reaped the benefit of brand-new audio and visual components with conference capabilities, as well as new pin-up boards, walls, flooring and paint.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently a member of Rinker\u2019s Industry Advisory Board, the 2016 inductee into the Rinker Construction Hall of Fame<\/a> is currently president and CEO of J. Raymond Construction<\/a> based out of Longwood, Fla. Founded in 1989 along with friend Russ Suddeth, Sofarelli is responsible for the overall vision and culture of a company that has been a trusted partner for construction needs throughout the Southeast United States for more than four decades. A fourth-generation contractor, Sofarelli is a certified general contractor in the states of Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. In addition, the man who bleeds orange and blue currently holds a Florida Real Estate license and is a LEED Accredited Professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJohn Sofarelli is truly an outstanding DCP alum who has given back in a number of ways,\u201d Anumba said \u201cWe are most grateful for his generosity in renovating and naming the John and Anne Sofarelli Family Gallery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Representing one of the most visual colleges on the campus of the University of Florida, the John and Anne Sofarelli Family Gallery is the gem of DCP\u2019s ever-improving facilities, showcasing the college\u2019s award-winning student work that make UF a Top-5 public university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
