For the Mighty, Mighty Bulldogs

Today I went to the Garfield High School Re-opening. I took photos for friends who are not in Seattle and my fellow Bulldogs who are spending their weekend remodeling their bathroom. Enjoy!


The new gym and performing arts center.



The cafeteria/commons area is in the area that used to be the stage.





The library.


They still have Jimi's head!


The stairwells were still intact with the original steps and wood banisters.


Some of the hallways are still very narrow.


No more purple lockers.


The courtyard is a little different. Also the 2nd floor on the far wall is the new hallway that connects the annex with the 3rd floor - crazy! How will the freshman find the 4th floor pool?



The new greenhouse.



The view is still pretty awesome.


The new aforementioned annex connector.


Lopez!


Be prepared to be shocked ladies - there were about 10 bathrooms in the school!


And they have stall doors, oh the insanity!



I have not thought about the attendance office in year - oh the good times!


The new construction shop is where the ladies locker room was in the school.






Alder!

Parking on Alder?


Notice something missing? No more smokestack! What will the seniors do?

Oh my god I wanna go to Lopez! I'm about as far away from it as can be. Thank you so much for posting those! Yay for the new generation.
