Modernization
work progressing nicely
McARTHUR - Fall River High
School’s modernization this summer includes completely gutting and
rebuilding the two locker rooms adjacent to the gymnasium.
Work is progressing, with completion expected by the time school begins
September 2nd... almost. One source says everything will be
complete except the installation of the lockers.
From a new ceiling to new floor, everything inside the locker rooms is
new. Newly designed showers, a coaches “chalk talk” area,
remodeled coaches offices, plumbing, electrical and everything in
between.
The photo at right shows the boys locker room featuring the new shower
area in the background. The photo was taken last Friday.
