"SHP was truly a partner with Beavercreek City Schools throughout the whole process. From design all the way to completion, their vision and attention to detail helped create a preschool our community will be proud of for generations to come."
– Dr. Bobbie Fiori, Assistant Superintendent, Beavercreek City Schools
"Beavercreek has a simple aesthetic influenced by many factors. For instance, the structure of the reading tower and the sunshades in the courtyard were inspired by the trees in Max's room in the story 'Where the Wild Things Are,' and the color scheme in the courtyard draws from the syncopated pattern of Bert Dow's dory in 'Bert Dow, Deep Water Man."
– John Noble, Project Architect & Design Leader, SHP
