The 1,800 seat gym is on top floor with the lower level home to a 3,400 square foot weight room, a wrestling room, a team room, offices, conference and training rooms. Excavation, shoring, heavy equipment, materials and personnel were all safely moved on and off campus with minimal disruption to school activities.
