COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Some Columbus City Schools students heading back to class will enjoy a new environment.
Officials at the Southwood Elementary School opened the school Tuesday morning for parents to see after major renovations.
The building is 115 years old and there was only one restroom for all the children.
Now, there is water in every room and restrooms in all the primary classes.
"They have 21st Century computers. They have something called thin client and you can plug the computer into the 42-inch flat-screen TV and display. The teacher can display whatever she needs to teach," said Carla Gale, principal.
Crews also installed air conditions throughout the building.
Teachers and parents who toured the building told the principal that they're excited to start the school year.
