A full-sized gym at Garfield Elementary School is a possibility after the Brainerd School Board approved a schematic design Monday, Oct. 26.
Original designs for renovations at the school did not include a full-sized gymnasium, which means Garfield would be the only elementary school in the district with a smaller gym. But after bids for the rest of the project came in favorably, the board will explore the idea of adding a bigger gym. Board members authorized project managers to move into the design development and construction documents phase for the gym at a cost not to exceed $66,300. This phase will bring forth estimates for the cost of the larger gym so the board can see if it will fit into the overall budget.
