(Milan, IN) – Milan Community Schools dedicated its gym lobby on Saturday.

Four members of the 1954 state basketball championship team were on hand (pictured) and spoke at the event.

The lobby features a large, retro-looking trophy room with the 1954 championship trophy in the center, surrounded by a mural of champions and a number of trophies from all sports.

It also has an expanded concession stand and larger restrooms.

The lobby, completed in May 2023, was used for graduation ceremonies on May 27.

It was part of a larger multi-year building project the school began in 2021 with the construction of a new roof, an HVAC system, and safe, secure entries.

The field turf and a maintenance shop/concession stand were added in the summer of 2022.
