Crenshaw is undergoing construction, which will include a new outdoor courtyard, a new synthetic turf football field, resurfacing of all floors and the gymnasium courts, and of course a brand new state of the art 850 seat theater which will include classrooms for music, dance and drama! There is also a new ventilation, heating and air system being installed, along with small learning community spaces such as the Robotics lab and Business Center.
