GILL HALL ELEMENTARY ADAM ZUNIC, PRINCIPAL Gill Hall Elementary School is Bigger and Better A t Gill Hall Elementary School, we celebrated the completion of our renovation and opening of our new ten-classroom wing at the end of November. The renovation was necessary to accommodate our growing student population. Our cafeteria was completely remodeled, including a new kitchen with the addition of two serving lines. We now have an upgraded HVAC system with new univents and central air conditioning in every classroom. The highlight of the renovation is the new ten-classroom wing 44 WEST JEFFERSON HILLS which includes a flexible, instructional space. New state-of- the-art classrooms allow staff to meet the needs of our 21st century learners. A second entrance accommodates the need for smoother arrival and dismissal procedures. The most exciting aspect of the renovation for students is the new playground which includes a rubberized play surface to ensure student safety as well as climbing apparatuses, swings and slides. Much like the new TJ 2.0, the new addition to Gill Hall Elementary School was “worth the wait!”
