This year, Lincoln Northeast will be under construction as the school’s weight room will be renovated.

Plans for the remodel began about nine years ago. Athletic Director Clayton Heath commented, “this way we can have multiple classrooms in the weight room at once and boys and girls will be able to get a workout in at one time.” Adding to the weight room will not just be beneficial to athletes, but also gym classes. The new weight room will be about three times as big as it is now and should go to the west end of the building. We will also add some more weights and equipment into the weight room. Heath also added that hopefully they will add some classrooms/meeting rooms below the weight room. With all of these additions to the building, it will cost an ample amount of money. The cost will be approximately around 1.5 million dollars.

The west side of the building will be remodeled as well. On the outside of the building on a marquee will be the words “Northeast High School”. The weight room will be all carpet, and we will have white walls with sayings on them. Inside, there will be many elliptical type equipment for use of the students. In an area in the corner of the weight room they will have multiple black and white “Ns” taped on the floor.
The construction will begin in the second semester of the 2015 school year, and finish roughly around the beginning of the 2016 school year.
