EOP Architects

EOP Architects is so thrilled to announce our merging with Champlin Architecture! Two top regional architectural firms joined forces today to unite their creative energies. Cincinnati-based Champlin Architecture and Lexington-based firm, EOP Architects, announced the finalization of their merger, which will provide greater creativity and insights to a wider range of project types and markets. While both firms have individually enjoyed steady growth attributed to their reputations for design, innovation, and service excellence, their deep desire to make a more profound and far-reaching impact on those they serve spurred them to begin considering other options for growth. Together, their combined professional staff of 128 will provide their clients with continued excellent service and unparalleled design talent!

The old Herald-Leader building continues to transform on the edge of downtown as the new Fayette County Public Schools (KY) HILL (Hub for Innovative Learning and Leadership) school takes shape. The facility will combine the two previously separate Career and Technical Education facilities at one location and add several new programs. Students from the aviation pathway flew drones to capture the footage you’re seeing here to create this video! This is just one of the exciting educational opportunities the HILL will afford FCPS students. Champlin Architecture
