Parkland College trustees updated on gym remodeling

CHAMPAIGN – When Parkland students return to school next fall and step into the college's gym, they'll see a much different place, with new bleachers, flooring, lights and paint colors.

"It's a brighter look. It's a more modern look," said Jim Bustard, director of the Parkland Physical Plant, of the planned gym remodeling. "It's almost a difference of night and day."
