Universal Orlando Resort filed a new permit for construction of a pre-engineered building at Epic Universe, likely in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Wizarding World of Harry Potter Permit
Permit B26901776 calls for “PEMB Construction” at 1001 Epic Blvd, Orlando, FL 32819. It was filed by Baker Barrios Architects Inc. on behalf of Universal Orlando, with The Whiting Turner Contracting Company listed as the proposed contractor.
PEMB refers to a pre-engineered metal building, meaning parts are pre-fabricated offsite and then assembled in their new home.

Though the address refers to Epic Universe at large, the permit is likely related to construction backstage at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic.
Work began in December behind the Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry show building after Universal filed a permit for “new construction” on 150,000 square feet of the park. That permit was ultimately revealed to be for “P905,” the codename for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic. That permit was also filed by Baker Barrios Architects.
Neither permit has exact details about what the new building could be for.
Work also began in December on a rumored events pavilion next to Super Nintendo World.
This week, Universal filed a permit for a “future attraction” at Epic Universe but the permit was quickly removed from the Orange County website.
