How old is your school?
« on: May 08, 2009, 02:24:07 PM »
My high school was built in 1975. A second gymnasium and new hallway was added in 1991, and a major addition that made the school twice as big was built in 2001. My school, standing at least 400,000 square feet, currently serves about 2,600 students. The old 1975 portion was modernized significantly in 2006-2007.

I think the original part of the school was built around 1950 or so, but so much has been added on to it over the years, that the original part is a very small part of the whole school.

Mine was built in 1964 so it's like 45 years old now.

My school was bulit in 1924. It'a a historical site now so it can't have anything added or removed from it and if anything like or fire, tornado, etc damaged it, it has to be put together EXACTLY the way it was originally built.

Mines  "historic" but thats just B.S. It was built in 1911 and has had some minor fixes over the decades. Its horribly old and the city is simply pushing off completely renovating or rebuilding it.

The high school I graduated from is built in 1917 and used to be a junior college. In 1940 it converted to Brawley High School. Around 1940 Imperial Valley College is built. so it's around my grandma's age. :P

I believe my school was built in 1952... The Freshman wing was built in 1993 and the Senior wing was built in 2005? I'm not sure about that one, I couldn't find the year brick on the wall...

My old high school in New Orleans was very old, I know that much. My new school is fairly new, I'd say a couple of years old.

My high school was built in the 1960s, and was extensively remodeled and added onto in 1995.

I think mine was built in 1953. A science wing was added in '96 and a FEMA tornado shelter/gym/cafeteria/multi-purpose building (which was in use yesterday for TornadoFest) was opened last year.

My school serves a little over 500 people. When tornadic weather arrives, the FEMA shelter can serve over 2,000 people. In one room.

The origional part of the building (Classrooms, Cafeteria) was built in 1957, the gym was finished (Pool and 2 gyms) in 1958, and then the Fine Arts wing was completed in 1963, same year as my house. My god, my school is a old piece of retro junk. Over the summer they renovated parts of it... but I don't think that they can afford doing it again this summer. To much money.
