The school remains in its original building complex, which was extensively renovated five years after original construction for seismic retrofitting at a cost of two-thirds of the original cost of the complex. In 2009 the building turned 82 years old, and its age was showing. Funds were raised and a significant repair and maintenance program was undertaken.

Giampolini Courtney was selected as prime contractor, after a careful vetting process by building officials. Based upon price and experience, a multi-million dollar, multi-phase, facade repair and re-roof replacement project began in 2010 and was completed in 2012. Work included major rebuilding of terra cotta and brick window heads and columns and 100% repointing of several large brick buildings. RMA & Associates represented ownership as Construction Manager.
