Connecting Students
Community Environment:
The UCF Career Services and
Experiential Learning (CSEL) building
houses two departments within UCF.
These departments have the mission
of helping students find their true
professional calling and connecting
them to the workplace where they can
gain experience and full -time
positions during school and after
graduation.
The design of the project, located
prominently on the main Memory Mall
of the UCF campus, provides easy
access for students to these services
and strives to be an inviting and open
design to encourage student and
faculty collaboration.
Collaborative Environment
Community Environment:
The main entry lobby and public
collaboration space (the Career Peer
Area, top right) were designed with
exterior views onto the Memory Mall
and exterior plaza, connecting
students to the exterior environment.
This open space has computer stations
for student research and is adjacent to
graduate and faculty offices for private
student career counseling.
Career Peer Area
The large seminar space (on bottom
right) is used for CSEL teaching
seminars, career expo functions, and
employer social events. The room is
equipped with the latest Audio Visual
technology for teaching and long
distance learning. The furniture in the
room is flexible to accommodate the
various functions of the space.
Large Seminar Room
Student Support
Learning Environment:
The Career Services department,
located on the first two floors,
supports students with resume
development and interviewing skills.
The design of the building incorporates
open and inviting lobby spaces, offices
with ample daylight, and practice
interview rooms. This department
also coordinates employer interviews
and has over 18 private interview
rooms for this purpose. A private
employer lounge for employer downtime between scheduled interviews
gives employers their own comfortable
and high-tech break area.
Third Floor Lobby
The Experiential Learning department,
located on the third floor, further
connects student job seekers with
hiring employers.

Contextual Solution
Physical Environment:
The UCF Campus Standards require
brick, metal panel, and glass curtain
wall to be used on all buildings in the
Memory Mall portion of campus. The
Career Services & Experiential
Learning building uses these materials
in modern ways, using a geometric
architectural vocabulary which fits well
with the existing context. The curving
roof form of the glass corner also
references the nearby UCF Arena,
creating a design dialog between the
two structures.
The massing of the building forms,
with a combination of two story and
three story volumes, helps the project
to present an attractive façade on all
sides.
Entry from Parking
Daylighting and Views
Physical Environment –
The CSEL building houses a mixture of
research spaces, seminar rooms,
interview rooms, and private offices.
The full time faculty support students
in a range of activities from career
guidance counseling, to resume
building, to interview coaching. The
faculty also works closely with
employers to connect them with the
best student candidates. For these
purposes the offices must be private,
yet inviting and open. The design of
the project optimized views to the
campus and maximized daylighting by
incorporating exterior ribbon windows
and entry door sidelights into every
office and conference room space.
This combination allows daylight to
penetrate deep into the building,
creating the open feel desired by the
Owner.

Team Design
Planning Process:
SchenkelShultz Architecture worked
from the very start of the project with
the Owner to identify the priorities for
the project and achieve these through
the building planning and design.
These priorities were to create a
signature building on this very
prominent site, an open and inviting
building for students, and an energy
efficient structure. These priorities
were realized by opening the public
spaces of the building to the Memory
Mall, strategically locating the large
glazing elements in the building, and
celebrating the sidewalk corner
intersections by elevating the entry
plaza and accenting the entry with the
glass form. Several alternatives were
explored with the Owner for the
corner design form, with the curving
roof emerging as the final form.

Sustainability
Planning Process:
The University of Central Florida is
committed to sustainable design, and
requires all new projects to obtain a
minimum of LEED® Silver. The CSEL
project has targeted LEED® Gold from
its start, and our current LEED®
Checklist has us achieving that goal.
The final energy analysis produced by
the Engineer of Record (TLC
Engineering) shows the building
achieving a 40% increase of energy
performance over the ASHRAE
required baseline. This will result in
substantial cost savings to the Owner
over time, and a significant reduction
in energy consumption over the life of
the building. This sustainable
approach to building design was a
fundamental part of the planning
process from the project’s inception.
