Built in 1973,
Arbor
Hill Elementary School is located on Arbor Drive across from Whitney
M Young Jr. Health Center. The building has undergone a two-year
renovation project that will finish in time for the start of the
2010-11 school year.
When students
return in September they will learn in a modernized facility with
new computers in every classroom, walls and doors for every
classroom – in contrast to the school’s previous
school-without-walls configuration – new computer and science labs,
an indoor atrium and a new heating and cooling system. Students also
will be able to walk to school across a new pedestrian bridge that
will span Manning Boulevard and link the school to Skyline
Apartments and Lark Street.
