The first phase of this building project includes construction of the gymnasium, locker rooms, exercise/weight room and office spaces. The foundation and structure are finished and interior work will soon begin.

Phase two will add a cafeteria, production stage, art studio and music room. DCA plans to make this space available to the Danville community. The goal is to have the gym completed by the start of the 2019-2020 school year.
