East elevation of gymnasium. Honeycomb graphics overlaid on multiple stripes help deconstruct the corners of the space, giving the facility a intimate feeling with the main focus being that of the court and the teams playing the game. Stinger graphics, a new scoreboard, renovated goals and new telescopic bleachers will round-out the interior finishes.

 New bleachers will seat 750 fans on either side of the new gym court flooring, which will be framed with a border containing graphics for the Stingers and Stingerettes.

Eames: the architect and the painter

This is a fascinating look at the husband-and-wife team of Charles and Ray Eames, who were America's most influential and important industrial designers of the 20th century. Admired for their creations, and most  fascinating as individuals, they rose to iconic status in American culture. 'Eames: The Architect & The Painter' captures the intimate story of Charles and Ray while placing them solidly in the context of their fascinating times.
