Owensville Middle School Gym Update:
The painting is now finished in the small gym, and the HVAC unit is now on the roof as opposed to in the corner of the gym shown in the last picture. The HVAC unit being on the roof has helped with the sound in the gym tremendously, as the previous unit created a lot of noise in the gym. The hardwood will be getting installed this week.

The floor that served Owensville High School since 1987 provided nearly 40 years of service to our students, athletes, staff, and community. From wrestling meets, basketball and volleyball games to graduations, concerts, assemblies, and countless other events, it has been the foundation for many memorable moments. Thanks to everyone who took some time to share some of those memories on our last update about the OHS gym floor.

Underneath the gym floor, between the foundation and wood, are puck-shaped shock absorbers scattered all throughout the surface. After decades of use, these components had reached the end of their service life, making this replacement project an important investment in the future of our facilities. You can see in the photos that all the pucks become smashed over time, but in some areas, they are nearly completely flat or literally smashed to dust from use over time.

The fact that our gym floor lasted nearly four decades is a testament to the care and maintenance it received over the years. Thank you to all of the maintenance staff who helped to make this gym floor last as long as it did. Also, thank you to the crew who helped to remove the gym floor to prepare it for the new floor to be installed.

As the new floor is installed, we will share updates of what that process looks like!
