Beavercreek Office Remodel 2026

Over summer break 2026, Prodigy Building Solutions renovated the main administrative suite at Beavercreek High School — the principal's office, conference room, and the surrounding offices that greet families and staff every day. When the doors opened again in the fall, a set of dated, chopped-up rooms had become one cohesive, modern office finished in the district's orange and black.

The suite had the problems most school offices collect over the decades. A wall separated the principal's office from the conference room next door, forcing meetings to spill into the hallway. A freestanding partition broke up another room without adding privacy. Banks of aging cabinets crowded the work area, and each room's drop ceiling had been patched and adjusted separately over the years, so grids and tile sizes no longer matched from one space to the next.

Prodigy's crews removed the walls, repaired every disturbed surface to a paint-ready finish, and realigned the ceiling grids so the whole suite reads as one space with consistent 2x4 ceiling pads. Most of the old cabinetry came out, and the cabinets that remained received a new black laminate countertop and backsplash, giving the staff a clean built-in work surface. Every room was repainted in owner-selected colors with a commercial-grade epoxy paint system chosen to stand up to years of scuffs and scrubbing, and new carpet with fresh vinyl base went down throughout. Overhead, dimmable LED flat panels replaced the old fixtures, letting staff tune the light to the task.

The whole renovation was completed inside a single summer, so no school day was interrupted and staff returned to a finished office. For districts with administrative areas, workrooms, or front offices that no longer fit the way people actually work, a focused summer remodel like this one shows how much a few weeks and the right plan can change.

Technical Discussion

The case for pre-catalyzed epoxy over standard latex

The least glamorous decision on this project may matter longest. School offices are hard on walls — chairs, carts, backpacks, taped-up posters, and years of cleaning. A standard latex repaint costs less on day one, and it is what most offices get. Beavercreek's office instead received one coat of primer and two coats of pre-catalyzed epoxy on its concrete block walls, in colors the district approved.

Pre-catalyzed epoxy is a waterborne coating with a crosslinking agent already blended in. It applies like ordinary paint — no two-part mixing, no pot life to race — but cures to a harder, denser film that behaves much more like a true epoxy: it takes repeated scrubbing without burnishing, resists staining, and holds its color through the kind of cleaning schedule a school runs. On block walls, where texture gives scuffs plenty of places to grab, that difference compounds year after year.

Side-by-side comparison of a scuffed standard latex wall and a clean pre-catalyzed epoxy wall in a school hallway, with durability benefits listed.

The math favors the upgrade almost every time a wall belongs to a school. The labor to paint a room is the same either way; the premium is only in the material. Spending it means the next repaint moves years further out and the walls look presentable the whole time in between. When a district reviews a renovation quote, the paint line deserves a closer look than it usually gets — the spec, more than the color, decides how the space holds up.
