Gaston County Schools is pleased to announce the acquisition of the former Armstrong Athletic Club property located at 3372 Robinwood Road in Gastonia. The property, valued in excess of $2 million, is a generous gift presented to Gaston County Schools by Don and Mary Doctor.

Work is underway to transform the building from a gymnasium to a multiuse space where teachers, administrators, students, and others can engage in academic-related programs, workshops, and events. In addition to space for collaboration, the building will include offices for the school system’s Academic Services division. A ribbon-cutting and open house celebration is planned for January.
