SchenkelShultz Architecture Designs Edison College's New Early Childhood Development Center in Naples, FL

ORLANDO, FL – SchenkelShultz Architecture, Orlando, announced the firm designed Edison College’s new $3.4 million, 10,000-square-foot Early Childhood Development Center (photo at left below) at its Collier County Campus in Naples, FL.

Designed to be the college’s first LEED®-certified facility, the environmentally-friendly building will serve the childcare needs of staff and students as well as provide for the needs of underprivileged children in Collier County.

The center’s mission is to provide students pursuing early developmental and elementary education with the opportunity to work with the facility’s staff and children on an internship basis.

Sources of funding for the project include $1.65 million from the Naples Children and Education Foundation and $1.65 million from state matching funds. Kraft Construction Company, Naples, FL, serves as construction manager for the center which is slated for completion in November 2008. The Orlando office of SchenkelShultz is located at 200 East Robinson Street, Suite 300, Orlando, FL, phone 407-872-3322.

Also commemorating 25 years in Florida under the leadership of J. Thomas Chandler, (top right photo) AIA, President and COO, the firm established its Orlando office in 1983 and subsequently expanded with five additional offices in Fort Myers, Jacksonville, Naples, Tampa and West Palm Beach.

“At SchenkelShultz,” said Chandler, “our focus is on architecture but our passion transcends excellent design. Our firm,” he added, “is continuously evolving to anticipate and adapt to ever-changing market trends, and is dedicated to building positive, successful relationships with our valued clients, employees and communities.”
