Grant growing by the day
Grant's grown by leaps and bounds in the last month, going from a flat lot to walls that give shape to the design and help people visualize what the finished product will look like. Take a look below at the start of the main entrance, gym, stage and library.
The new Grant is expected to open early in winter 2020.

Temporary alley closure behind Grant
The alley between North Oakes Street and Grant Center for the Expressive Arts will close for most of January as a retaining wall is built on the school side of the alley.
Tons of memories
It took about three weeks to bring down the old Grant Center for the Expressive Arts – all 4,000 tons of it. Trucks hauled off that material, including 3,397 tons of concrete and steel that were destined for recycling facilities.
About a year from now, Grant students will walk into their new building, ready to make a fresh set of memories.
