0606schools1
Debris is loaded and hauled away Monday morning from Enota Multiple Intelligences Academy as demolition crews begin tearing down the longtime Gainesville elementary school at 1340 Enota Ave. A new facility will be constructed on the same campus where the school opened in 1954.
Workers are clearing the way for a $19.3 million school building set to open in 16 months. Adrian Niles, maintenance and operations director and capital projects manager for the Gainesville City School District, told board members Monday night the project requires “a very quick turnaround.” Niles told the board demolition and removal of the debris is expected to be completed by June 30.
