Due to the extra costs, the planning committee made a few cuts from the original plans. Both the weight room and the additional offices for coaches will not be built. M.A.'s second gym is unofficially known as the Athletic Center. Members of the planning committee would like to name the gym in honor of the highest donor, but so far, that donor has refused the proposal. They're very humble.
Plans have yet to be finalized for an opening ceremony, but two ceremonies are planned.
The first event will likely be a basketball game. M.A.'s first home basketball game is on November 20, when the Girls Junior Varsity faces Athenian. As of late, no there is no definitive word on the Athletic Center's general use. Free time activities such as basketball will be limited, Kralik said. So we will need to monitor it carefully to ensure that there is no undue stress on the facility.
