The expansion of the Middle School has shown a beautiful balance of honoring the history of the building and providing for the educational needs of today’s students.

As the former high school, the auditorium holds a nostalgic place in the hearts of many Dansville graduates. When considering updating the seating of the auditorium, much care and time was given to choosing the upholstery and finding a careful balance between respecting the history of the facility and meeting the necessary newer codes and desire for comfort. The result is a new seat that features a wood and upholstered back echoing the style and structure of the original model.

The end-caps that adorn the aisle seats have been painted black with gold highlights and still feature the DHS logo, invoking the building’s history. The seats will feature a more typical flip-up style that allows for visitors to comfortably enjoy the auditorium’s activities and events. Although the winter concert season has passed and was performed in the high school, the remainder of winter and spring activities will return to their home for the middle school students.
