(Harlem) Harlem schools held a ground breaking ceremony this passed Thursday for two new projects in the district.
The first is for an expansion to Harlem’s Junior High / High Schools Cafeteria, which will also overhaul and replace their current kitchen facilities.
The elementary school is starting construction on a new area for phys ed classes, including an updated gym. The current gym is not regulation size, and the new one will include locker rooms and bathrooms along with brand new bleachers.
The spaces left over when these new areas are completed will be presupposed, according to the school. The current elementary school gym will be converted into a library, and the expansion of the Junior/Senior High Schools cafeteria will also include a remodel of the secretaries office.
These projects are projected to cost the district around 12 million dollars.
