What’s going on at Shady Grove? MSCS plans for early childhood hub
Shady Grove was built in 1963, so there has been modernization efforts along with repurposing the space. Jarquiste Rogers, facilities manager for early childhood and pre-K at MSCS, said renovating an old building like Shady Grove involves removing any hazards as well as modernizing equipment.
