The construction of the auditorium was resumed and completed in 1999. The campus also includes athletic facilities which include a uniquely shaped baseball stadium (due to a lack of flat land area) which has undergone several major improvements and renovations in recent years (2005-2006). The campus also includes tennis courts, practice fields, softball fields, weight lifting facilities, and track and field areas.
