When it came time to renovate and add new features to the historic Dakota Middle School, Scull Construction knew that preserving the historical integrity of the building would be a top priority, and proceeded to take great care in doing so. The project included major renovation to much of the facility and a four-story addition off the southwest corner of the building. The 1937 Theatre has received a completely new stage area, a more spacious and comfortable viewing area, updated heating and cooling systems, and a functional backstage support space. The project was a collaboration of Rapid City Area Schools, Rapid City Performing Arts Coalition, and the City of Rapid City.
