The new building for Enota Multiple Intelligences Academy would change the look of the elementary school property, if current plans are followed, but some community members have objected and asked for a change in the design. “The entire site would be changed. That’s a piece of the concern,” Wanda Creel, superintendent for Gainesville City Schools, said Thursday.
