LINCOLN – Originally scheduled to be ready for use this month, the completion of the gymnasium renovation at Lincoln High School has been delayed again.
Those close to the project have reported that the recently finished gym floor will need to be almost completely redone, setting the schedule back at least a month.
The problem was discovered shortly after the new floor was installed, when Athletic Director Greg O’Connor walked the gym and noticed that the floor was uneven, with gaps between the floorboards.
“There were major problems,” said School Committee Chairman Joseph Goho, who described the floor as “wavy and bumpy,” “an obvious safety concern” and “completely inadequate for a brand new floor that we paid for.”
