Moake Park Group

What Moake Park Group does

Moake Park Group is a privately held architecture, interior design, and planning firm headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana, founded in 1988 by Scott Moake. The firm operates as an integrated professional services practice, delivering architecture, interior design, master planning, feasibility studies, building envelope services, and specialized analysis (LEED/sustainability, CPTED) for institutional and public-sector clients. Its primary vertical segments are K-12 education, higher education, municipal/government, healthcare, and institutional/community clients (including YMCA facilities), with a secondary practice in retail. The firm is recognized for expertise in occupied-facility renovations within active schools, hospitals, and public buildings, and for serving long-tenured client relationships (the firm cites 30+ years of work with YMCA facilities).

The firm's technical toolkit centers on Building Information Modeling (BIM), 3D rendering, virtual reality visualization, Matterport 3D scanning, aerial mapping, and photography. These capabilities are positioned to support early stakeholder alignment and reduce construction change orders — a differentiator in public-sector bidding where constructibility and documentation discipline are evaluated. The team holds AIA, LEED AP, and CPTED credentials, and leadership includes a CEO (Jeff Schroeder), President (Jeremy Ogle), Principal/Director of Design Visualization (Scott Moake), Principal Kevin Runkel, and Director of Business Development Karen Stahl. The firm is currently hiring across architecture, interior design, and BIM technician roles, suggesting active expansion.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees negotiated per engagement. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales led by the Director of Business Development, with work secured via direct institutional engagement, competitive public-sector bidding, and referrals. The firm operates exclusively in the Midwest regional market (primarily Indiana) with a single headquarters office. Ownership is founder/management-controlled with no disclosed external investment, and the firm is described as 'one of the region's most respected design practices' with 35+ years of continuous operation.
