Project Overview
The Sarasota High School Building 13 and 14 Renovation in Sarasota, Florida delivered a comprehensive phased renovation of two school buildings on a working high school campus for Sarasota County Schools. The $37,500,000 project was procured through a Construction Manager at Risk process and encompassed a full building systems overhaul, including electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and chilled water upgrades, along with 700 tons of new cooling, ice tank refurbishment, new finishes throughout, and site restoration. The renovation was designed to modernize both buildings while keeping the school operational throughout. The client engaged PRESWERX to develop a proposal, renderings, and animations in support of the competitive pursuit.

Client Challenges
The client needed a pursuit package for a phased school renovation that had to communicate both technical complexity and student continuity:
A renovation spanning electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and chilled water systems across two buildings required imagery and a proposal that made the scope legible.
A phased project on an occupied campus required the team to communicate a relocation and sequencing plan that protected school operations.
A school district evaluating a $37.5M renovation needed a proposal, renderings, and animations that made the construction approach credible.
Together, these called for a package that made a technically complex, occupiedcampus renovation feel organized and well-commanded.

Scope of Work
PRESWERX delivered a full pursuit package for the Sarasota High School Building 13 and 14 Renovation in Sarasota, Florida. The proposal organized the construction approach for a comprehensive phased renovation of two high school buildings, covering the full scope of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and chilled water system upgrades, new finishes, 700 tons of cooling, and a student relocation plan that kept the campus operational. Renderings and animations gave Sarasota County Schools a visual picture of the finished buildings, communicating the quality of the renovated educational environments. All deliverables were calibrated to support the CMAR competitive submission.


PRESWERX Approach
PRESWERX focused on making a technically dense school renovation feel as organized on paper as it would need to be in the field.
Developed a proposal that structured the phased renovation approach, student relocation plan, and full systems scope into a clear, district-ready narrative.
Produced renderings that captured the finished Buildings 13 and 14 as modern, refreshed educational environments worth the investment.
Created animations that gave Sarasota County Schools a dynamic view of the renovated campus and the quality of the completed spaces.
The result was a package that made a multi-system, occupied-campus renovation feel as manageable as it was ambitious.
Results Delivered
PRESWERX delivered a proposal, renderings, and animations that gave the Sarasota High School renovation a complete, well-organized pursuit case.
The proposal structured the phased approach, relocation plan, and full renovation scope into a narrative built for Sarasota County Schools' evaluation.
Renderings and animations captured the finished buildings as modern educational environments that communicated the quality of a $37.5M school investment.
The combined package gave the client visual and written assets covering every dimension of a complex, occupied-campus renovation pursuit.
The client entered the Sarasota County Schools selection with assets that matched the scope and discipline of the project.
