As we start a new school year, you may have noticed that many offices at school have moved around. This year, Prep is placing a greater focus on expanding academic learning space.

One notable development among several is the new “Brick House” purchased by Prep in the spring of 2025. The building is located across from Prep, south of E Miller St. The new building will house Advancement and Communications Offices. The main purpose of reshuffling locations of several different offices is to increase academic learning spaces for students. Other major changes include a new freshmen collegio located in Adelphia Hall room 423, and President Jordan’s office being moved to McDonnell Hall.
One reason for these new developments is an increase in student body population. Mr. Lui says, “Prep is increasing in size. With more students on campus, new learning space will be needed”. Adding more classrooms will help maintain a good student to teacher ratio.
The school also owns the building next to the “Brick House”, commonly known as the “White House”. In the past, the “White House” was used as a living space for members of the Alumni Service Corp (ASC). The building will now be used for the Human Resources and Business Offices. With offices being moved from on-campus to off-campus, this helps manage the increase in learning space for Prep students. Although these changes may be difficult or confusing to adjust to in the beginning, it will prove beneficial for students.
