The Building
BMHS consists of two buildings: the Old Building (aka Memorial Building) and the New Building. The New Building is an addition that was added to the original building in 1974, but it was built as a free-standing structure. Because of this, there are two gyms and two cafeterias. Only the cafeteria in the New Building is in use. There is one auditorium; it is in the Old Building. Each building has three floors, but only the top two floors of the Old Building are used by the school. The lower floor is used by the school department for a preschool for special-needs children, as well as storage for the drama program's set materials and costumes.

Famous quotes containing the word building:
“For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.”
—Bible: New Testament, 2 Corinthians 5:1.
“It would be naive to think that peace and justice can be achieved easily. No set of rules or study of history will automatically resolve the problems.... However, with faith and perseverance,... complex problems in the past have been resolved in our search for justice and peace. They can be resolved in the future, provided, of course, that we can think of five new ways to measure the height of a tall building by using a barometer.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
