LORDSTOWN — Plans are underway for a sensory learning and activity room at Lordstown Elementary School in an area previously occupied by lockers.

Lordstown Elementary Principal Rich Zigarovich said the elementary school, which used to be the former Gordon D. James Career Center, had many lockers no longer being used that were removed over the summer.

He said a new area with new flooring was created near the front entrance of the school for the sensory room.

Zigarovich said the room is similar to the STEM area in another section of the school where lockers were taken out. That project was covered by grant money and offers a space for hands-on learning of science, math, technology and engineering.

Zigarovich said the area is used mostly by grades 3-6.
