AURORA – Waubonsie Valley High School’s auditorium will have a new look next year. The auditorium is scheduled for an upgrade for the 2025-2026 school year. The Indian Prairie School District 204 Board of Education approved the project at a board meeting in March.
The renovation, which is set to begin over the summer, includes over $7.6 million in renovations. Changes include new seats, house lights, theater lights, sound systems, flooring, and other replacements. The overall look of the room will also be different, along with Americans with Disabilities Act upgrades throughout the auditorium, which will bring the building up to code.
The auditorium is one of the most widely used facilities in the building hosting theatrical events, music concerts and non-school related events. Construction is scheduled to be completed in the fall.
