Drainage issues continue to plague the Gainesville High gym, but fixes being made over the next few weeks should prevent any future flooding problems. The gym initially flooded in July 2013 when the drains around the building backed up and allowed water to seep through the door and walls, running underneath the basketball court floor and throughout the building. It very nearly happened again over the winter break, when a soaking rain added more than four inches to the yearly rainfall total during the weekend before Christmas.
