The original heating, electric and plumbing systems were replaced and a new state-of-the-art data and media network were added to enhance the educational opportunities afforded to the students.

In addition to serving as lead design consultant, DiDonato was instrumental in convincing the State to increase the Maximum Cost Allowance for construction for the project by over 35% from its original $6.2 million budget helping to ensure that full reconstruction could be undertaken and that the building would be properly outfitted to meet the challenges of education in the 21st century.
