Campus Bookstore Remodel | Retail Construction Case Study

Case Study: Campus Bookstore Remodel

Challenge

A large campus bookstore was undergoing a full remodel and needed a partner who could take ownership of the project from start to finish.

Because the space operated within an active educational environment, the work required careful scheduling, lockout/tagout coordination, and full compliance with state inspection requirements. Multiple trades, campus protocols, and project milestones all had to be managed simultaneously, making communication and oversight critical to success.

 

Solution

PRS served as the single point of contact and managed the complete scope of work, including:

  • Pulling and managing required electrical permits
  • Installing upgraded lighting and electrical systems
  • Demolishing and replacing flooring
  • Constructing new walls and structural columns according to plan
  • Running conduit for updated systems
  • Installing ceiling baffles, new fixtures, and a new cash wrap
  • Painting and installing updated graphics

 

Throughout the project, PRS coordinated closely with facility stakeholders and store leadership to manage scheduling, safety procedures, inspections, and day-to-day project activities. Regular progress updates and site photos ensured complete visibility from start to finish.

 

Result

The remodeled bookstore now provides a modern, functional space designed to better serve students, staff, and visitors.

By coordinating permits, inspections, vendors, and multiple trades under one project team, PRS kept the remodel moving forward while minimizing disruption to daily operations. The project reflects the hands-on communication, accountability, and end-to-end project management that clients rely on from PRS every day.
