Q Renovations require money, patience Rome wasn't built in a day. Unfortunately, neither was Park Hill. The disassembly be- gan in june and the majority of it was not completed until sec- ond semester, with minor con- struction and clean-up crews lingering throughout the year. There were several overall goals of the renovation project, but the most important was to make the school more energy-ef- ficient. When those buildings were built, energy was not a concern, explained Mr. Al Tu- nis, charge of building and grounds with the district's Central Office, Gas was inex- pensive, electricity was inexpen- sive. Since then utilities have skyrocketed Another objective of the changes was to take a look at the facility as it stands and see what renovations were neces- sary. This brought about changes in the girls' locker room and its accessability to the gym. In addition to upgrading current facilities, such as the media center, home economics classes, the cafeteria, and the administration offices, school of- ficials wanted to make changes that would provide students with the best educational program possible. Money used for the project Cnearly S2 millionl came from the passage of the bond issue Iune 7, 1983, along with a federal grant of 544,246 to be used towards en- ergy conservation. Dr. Barton Albright, principal, offered, I think it's marvelous. We've had more people dis- placed than ever before. There was no bell system, no P.A. sys- tem, and the response has been outstanding.
