<body><div>HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) - Presbyterian Christian School students have a new place to play and learn after the community gathered Friday to cut the ribbon on Payne Hall, a multipurpose building on the elementary campus. The building is named for Abb and Jennifer Payne and the Payne family in recognition of their contributions to the school and the project. It includes a gym, an elevated stage, and classrooms for art and music. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=008oxQ_1H3oPb8l00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=008oxQ_1H3oPb8l00" width="1300" height="866" ><figcaption>PCS celebrated the opening of a new multipurpose building.

Construction took a little more than a year and cost approximately $5 million. Much of the funding came from donations to the school’s Onward and Upward campaign, which raised more than $4.5 million. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3XlYrK_1H3oPb8l00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3XlYrK_1H3oPb8l00" width="1300" height="241" ><figcaption>WDAM 7 On Your Side composer template image (WDAM7)</figcaption></figure>Want more WDAM 7 news in your inbox?
