According to John Finan, Assistant Principal for Administrative Services, the floor refinishing and the bleacher replacements, along with other construction projects occurring over summer around the school, will finish off the 1.3 million dollars given to GBN to use strictly for  Life Safety and Infrastructure projects by the end of 2013.The day after Grad Night, construction crews are planning on beginning a summer long project in the main gym. From June 1 to Aug. 15, the main gym is scheduled to have its walls repainted, the floor refinished and the bleachers replaced.

“First, the floor will be sanded, we’ll have them paint new lines on it… Also, we will add a nicer Spartan head on the floor,” Athletic Director John Catalano said. “The first time this was done was in the early eighties, so it will be similar but more modern.”

Since the remodeling is scheduled to happen over the summer, it will have a small effect on summer camps.

“Summer camps … will have to be shifted into either the back gyms or the field house,” Catalano said. “Right now we’re juggling schedules around, but everything looks like it will work out alright.”

Some of these summer camps include boys and girls basketball, volleyball and badminton.

Renee Brosnan, head girls basketball coach, said that the possible location change for her team does not worry her. Although her team was supposed to practice in the main gym last year, they practiced in the field house because there was more space. However, she said that boys basketball will now have one less gym to use.

“It’s really exciting,” Catalano said. “It really is. It’s … a neat thing to be a part of. It’ll be a different look, more modern. It’s a nice project to work on.”
