The project has been in the works for quite some time.
The Orange Beach City Council unanimously approved the approximately $46 million project at Tuesday’s meeting.
“This is going to be built on the school campus and it is a middle school-high school facility, co-ed—men and women—so it serves I think 81% of the entire seventh through 12th grade population,” said Kennon. “Any extracurricular activity including athletics leads to a better student and a better citizen and any time we invest in our kids, in my humble opinion, we’re investing in our community.”
The renderings are but a glimpse of what’s to come- including a gym, multi-sport pavilion, kinesiology and exercise science building, track, soccer and football fields with grandstands, and more.“During the day, it serves as a classroom—kinesiology and sports medicine with additional classrooms. It’s gonna be a very unique facility,” added Kennon.
