PEABODY, MA — A West Peabody private day school has some shiny new gymnasium floors and facilities with the help of a Beverly construction management firm.

Connolly Brothers, Inc. recently completed the 12,505-square-foot gymnasium at Covenant Christian Academy. The new gymnasium features bathrooms, locker rooms, offices, a reception area and a large paver brick patio connected to the existing school with a glass-enclosed hallway.

Connolly Brothers said they were able to complete the project despite coronavirus crisis-related supply shortages with the help of sub-contractors, suppliers, the school and the city of Peabody.
