Ground was broken on the new Russell County Schools Auditorium / Natatorium and Band Room project on the campus of Russell County High School and Russell County Middle School in Russell Springs, Ky. on Thursday, November 1, 2007.
It takes more than one person to accomplish something, said Scott Pierce, superintendent of the Russell County School System. This has been a real community effort; it takes everyone working together.
The new facility will consist of a 750-seat auditorium, swimming pool, conference room and classrooms. It will be approximately 50,000 square feet and will be wheelchair accessible.
The project also includes an addition and renovation to the existing band room in the rear of Russell County High School. The addition will be 8,827 square feet and 4,673 of the existing space will be renovated.
This project will be a tool that puts us one notch ahead and can be used as an educational benefit as well as a job opportunity benefit, said Pierce. It can be used as an economic development tool.
