Hidden away on the second floor of Keith Junior High School is a space many former students may have never even stepped foot inside — the old girls gymnasium.
Today, the room serves primarily as storage, filled with decades of accumulated items, leftover materials, and building supplies being saved for the school’s ongoing redevelopment project. But beneath the dust and clutter, the character of the original gym still remains.
With the lights off and the old hardwood floor coated in dust, the space feels frozen in time. Pieces of original gym equipment still sit inside, quietly preserving memories of a different era of school life. Even in its current condition, the room carries a unique atmosphere that reflects the building’s long history.
As work continues throughout the property, spaces like this offer a glimpse into the past while highlighting the scale of the transformation taking place at Keith Junior High. Areas once forgotten or unused are slowly being rediscovered as part of the building’s next chapter.
It’s another reminder that throughout the school, there are still countless hidden corners filled with stories, memories, and pieces of history waiting to be uncovered.
