“I just want to thank everybody for showing up and showing their support, we’re excited about what’s going on here,” said Morris. “Of course, they’ve been moving dirt longer than we have, but finally glad to get a groundbreaking. We’re got a great working relationship with our architects McKinley Golden and with WRL, we’ve been very impressed with the work they’ve done so far and we’re just excited to see this building come up and our kids be able to use it.”
The projected completion date from the start of the project is 620 days.
According to information previously released by Center ISD, the multi-purpose event center and gymnasium will have seating for 1200-1500. The usage for the proposed multi-purpose event center and gymnasium will include, but not be limited to, basketball, band concerts, and graduation if the weather is a factor.
