Daeon Neal, 5, and Susie-Charlene Brewer, 7, chat inside the Centennial Arts Academy gymnasium, which school officials voted to fix because of buckling from water damage after a pipe burst recently. The gym will be closed for 60 days as the work is completed.
The school gym at Centennial Arts Academy in Gainesville is soon to receive much-needed repairs. The Gainesville City Board of Education voted to fast-track the redesign and replacement of the gym’s roof and wood flooring at a called meeting Thursday afternoon. A leak in the gym’s roof over the holidays resulted in severe buckling of the wooden floorboards under the leak.
