Recent improvements have included roof replacement, public area renovations, mechanical upgrades, and security system improvements. Funds appropriated in Am. Sub.

An additional $514,000 was appropriated by the 127th General Assembly in Am. Sub. H.B. 562 that will assist with replacement of deteriorating water mains in the building.
