Schenkel Shultz’s Desai wins UF alumni architecture award for firm’s office design

By Katie Sartoris Staff Writer. GrowthSpotter, December 22, 2025  

Last fall, Schenkel Shultz moved into its new office in Winter Park. After 30 years in the Fifth Third Bank building in downtown Orlando, the design firm had grown out of its existing office. 

The design and architecture firm’s new space — an open concept in a 22,000-square-foot historic midcentury building —  represented new beginnings. Celebrating its 40th anniversary, Schenkel Shultz had done a brand refresh in 2023 and announced it was launching into new markets. They wanted a headquarters that increased their visibility in the community and inspired teamwork and design excellence. 

The project won Ekta Desai, a firm partner and its design lead, an Alumni Design Award from the University of Florida School of Architecture.

The 54,400 sq. ft. renovation of Booker High School’s Visual and Performing Arts Center honors Emma E. Booker, whose vision established Sarasota’s first Black school and set a legacy of resilience and opportunity. Inspired by the performative qualities of a gemstone, the reimagined design reveals the original auditorium through a two-story faceted curtainwall, honoring its history while opening views to its future.
 
The expansion introduces a studio theater, green room, costume shop, adaptable lobby spaces, and a black box theater equipped with color-changing LEDs, advanced acoustics, and precision projection to support evolving creativity. Purpose-built and adaptable, the renewed center now hosts more than 30 performances annually, strengthening Sarasota’s arts ecosystem and empowering students to carry forward Booker’s legacy with artistry, courage, and lasting impact.
 
This achievement reflects the extraordinary talent and dedication of our project partners. Our sincere thanks to:
 
General Contractor: Core Construction
Structural Engineer: Bennett & Pless, Inc.
MEP Engineer: Engineering Matrix, Inc.
Civil Engineer: Infrastructure Solution Services
Landscape Architect: David W. Johnston Associates, Inc.
Theatre Consultant: Martin Vinik Planning for the Arts, LLC
Acoustical Consultant: Siebein Associates, Inc.
Photography: Andres Marin Photography
Specifications: Specs Plus Inc.
Reprographics: Benchmark Blueprinting, Inc.
 
Together, we transformed this cultural jewel into a space that inspires performance, strengthens community, and supports the creative journeys ahead.

Schenkel Shultz Completes Cross Prairie K-8 School

Orlando, FL – November 18, 2025 – Schenkel Shultz, a leading Central Florida architectural and interior design studio, is pleased to announce the completion of Cross Prairie K-8 for the School District of Osceola County. Designed to meet the demands of rapid growth in the District, the new 152,525 sq.ft. school prioritizes high performance, energy efficiency and a compact footprint to optimize both functionality and space.

Drawing inspiration from the intricacies of origami, the three-story building features overlapping brightly colored shapes that infuse the campus with energy and playfulness. Tilt-wall form liners establish rhythmic continuity, unifying the origami-inspired elements and amplifying the building’s dynamic presence. Inside, bold splashes of color and asymmetrical tiling thread through the hallways, creating visual intrigue, while guiding movement and enhancing wayfinding.
