Remodeling
 Aerial shot of Columbine High School in 1999 The school had undergone a massive remodeling for years before the shooting, adding a new library and cafeteria. After the massacre, Columbine demolished its library, located above the cafeteria, since it was the site where most of the deaths took place. The site was then turned into a memorial ceiling and atrium; a new, larger library was built on the hill where the shooting began and dedicated to the memory of the victims.[3][4] Image File history File links Aerial Shot of Columbine High School in 1999 This work is copyrighted. ...
