From July 2007 to December 2008, Galway Elementary School was relocated to the Fairland Center while the school facility was modernized and renovated.  The modernized school building boasts 42 classrooms, a state-of-the-art Media Center and Computer Lab, Gymnasium, Art and Music Studios, several instructional support offices, and an on-site daycare facility.  Each classroom has an interactive whiteboard and a document camera to facilitate interactive learning.
