During the iconic scene, the dance floor pulls back and the dancers fall into the pool. This scene was filmed in a real gymnasium in Beverly Hills, and remains in use at Beverly Hills High School today. It's called the "Swim Gym." While there are not many spaces quite like the Swim Gym, many schools do recognize the importance of building versatile, multi-purpose areas for educational activities and athletics. By day, the space might be a gym or even a cafeteria. At night, it could be a community event space, an auditorium or theater, or a place to host basketball games and other competitive events.

What starts as a warehouse can eventually be turned into a restaurant, apartments, a bank, an office building.

Aligning yourself with the right team of professionals can help reduce stress and make the process smoother and easier. If you're a CT property owner with a building that needs to be changed to meet the needs of new tenants or a new type of organization, understanding the process can help you get started.
