A World-Class gymnasium
Members of Mumby's family, including his brother Hugh, his daughter Lynn, and his nephew Marc were amongst the special guests on Friday. The Mumby family along with chief donor and board member Frederick S. Downs Jr. unfurled the Woodstock banners at the new basketball court to officially declare the gym open.
The gymnasium boasts several modern and world-class facilities that mark it as one of the finest school gymnasia in all of the country. Built by the generosity of funds donated to the school by its alumni, the gym features a full-size basketball court with rollaway bleachers, volleyball facility on the court, a mini basketball court, squash court, a large climbing wall room, fitness gym, table-tennis room, equipment store, new administrative offices, as well as two classrooms to teach theory or watch game tapes. The climbing wall at the gym is a particular highlight, which will help to enhance Woodstock's focus on Outdoor Education. The total area of the Gym structure is 26,000 square feet and was constructed within 12 months at a cost of just under US$ 2 million.
