Looking beyond replacing gym, to $2.5 million building

Children play in the main recreation area at the Boys & Girls Club of Bulloch County. According to Executive Director Mike Jones, a newer facility without such high ceilings would offer savings in the form of energy efficiency.
Shoe squeaks and shouts of boys and girls playing on a basketball court below could be heard from Mike Jones' loft office. Jones works inside the former clothing factory warehouse that is the Boys & Girls Club of Bulloch County's remaining usable building, a building it doesn't own. More representative of what the club does were the girls and boys using computers in a lab with two instructors, the field trips to places such as Georgia Southern University's Raptor Center and the planning underway for a handbell choir, said Jones, the club's executive director.
