The elementary school is the oldest and sma{lest of the existing buildings and is the most representative in architectural character of the original 1917 structure. The Guinn Middle School was renovated as the permanent home of the Fort Worth Business Assistance Center {BAC} in 2001. The Guinn Gymnasium Facility was renovated as TECH Fart Worth, a technology business incubator, in 2004. The return to public use of the two buildings has been an unqualified success. The training workshops are booked over capacity in the conference rooms of bath buildings. In order to continue to expand the training offered to potential entrepreneurs, the BAC and TECH Fort Worth need mare meeting space. The renovation of the elementary school will provide roam for more and larger classrooms for business education seminars, skills development workshops, and computer training classes.
