NUANCE - it was built with one, but the floor it was on was abandoned by the time I was there, along with the floor that was the bomb shelter. I only know it existed because of the buttons on the elevator still existing. (The swim team met at the neighboring high school's pool when I was part of it. All of the other city high schools had functioning pools.) These were sub-basements below the floor that maintenance used.

#so! it had a pool when it was built! but the floor of the building it's in is abandoned now #a sub-basement that's below the one that maintenance uses #and accessible only via elevator #which students aren't allowed to use without express permission (e.g. wheelchair user)#also abandoned is the floor that is the bomb shelter which iirc goes out under the football field #the buttons exist on the elevator still #anyways. i was on the swim team and we met at our rival high school that we were technically a combined team with #but only had like 4 members from the other high school #i believe i was told that it was because the water table where our high school was was too high #something something flooding something swampland #we were definitely right in the deepest part of a river valley right there and the city as a whole is a floodplain #so not surprising that basement 3 and basement 4 are abandoned #i can't find anything online about it though ): and the city library archives for the relevant era only have non-circulating items #in closed stacks #and i live 14 hours away so can't exactly be like 'hey lemme see those :)'
