New CafeGymnaTorium Rises At Cooke!
The new Gymnasium/Cafeteria/Auditorium takes shape behind the original 1908 building. The fabricated steel beams that make up the upper walls were so big they needed all three lanes of Mozart Place to maneuver the flatbed 18-wheelers that brought them to the site. It's reeeally big, much bigger than it looks on paper. The original Assembly Room, quite the innovation of its time, now becomes the Library/Media Center. With 22-foot classic columns, balconies and newly opened skylight, it will look even better than when it was built, 100 years ago.
