Block by block: Johns Island middle school students bring future rec center to life in Minecraft

Sixth graders at Haut Gap Middle School designed a future recreation center for Johns Island using Minecraft as part of a month-long competition. The winning design, created by Colin White, Hart Anderson, Elijah Robertson, and Russell Thiem, was presented to the City Council. The center is planned to be a 50,000-square-foot facility featuring a 25-meter swimming pool, a therapy pool, a yoga studio, indoor courts for basketball, volleyball, and pickleball, as well as outdoor amenities like additional pickleball courts, a basketball court, a playground, and a splash pad. The students creatively adapted game elements in their designs, such as using spider webs for basketball netting and snowballs as basketballs. City Councilman Jim McBride acknowledged the importance of the students' input, and Mayor William Cogswell humorously requested a motion to approve the budget for the new center. The construction will be funded through a million bond referendum approved by voters in 2023, with an anticipated groundbreaking in October and an estimated 18-month construction timeline.
