Not only was the main gym updated with new ADA-friendly bleachers, backboards, ceiling, acoustic panels and HVAC, as well as a refinished floor and security enhancements added, the second phase scheduled for later this year involves redoing science labs, renovating the auditorium music wing and replacing windows.
