At Schooley Caldwell, we believe every building tells a story. Architecture reflects our optimism, shared values and identity as a society. We create spaces for our community, spaces to celebrate, places for learning, for living and working. Our work is collaborative, integrating engineering and technology to serve our clients. From the careful preservation of historic landmarks to the bold creation of new spaces, our work is guided by this ethos. We specialize in Architecture, Interior Design, and Planning that respects heritage while embracing innovation. Whether restoring treasured structures, shaping modern environments, or planning for long-term growth and change, we deliver solutions that balance function and beauty.

Great architecture begins with aspiration, an idea, a need or a dream. Sometimes projects are designed to meet a humble need or simple requirements, other times, projects aim to inspire. Whatever their origin, a building is made to exist in the world. The places and spaces we design are subject to weather, to use and abuse, to changes in priorities and the challenge of keeping up with new technologies and changing building codes.

We believe the ribbon cutting is not the end of a project, but the beginning of a building’s life. Our team specializes in supporting owners and building managers long after opening day, helping them care for, adapt, and maintain their facilities for decades to come.

From straightforward roof replacements to complex exterior wall reconstructions with high-performing waterproofing, our technical expertise spans a wide range of services. Whether it is planning for asbestos abatement or modernizing spaces for Zoom Rooms, we deliver solutions that solve problems, save energy, reduce costs, and provide code compliance with safe and efficient operations.
