The Arts Center project consists of the renovation of the Drama Building at Wise. The renovated building will house the Drama, Music, and Studio Art departments. In addition, a black box theater will be built for multi-use drama and music performance, with accessory spaces providing storage, dressing rooms, a lobby, and public restrooms. A scene shop, a costume shop, and computer and drafting labs will be added to support the theater activities. The building will house rehearsal space for drama, band, and chorus activities. Classrooms, faculty office space, and art studios will also be located in the addition. A gallery to house art exhibits will be added and will overlook an outdoor courtyard in the center of the building. The addition will wrap around three sides of the existing structure.

A total of 10,062 gsf of existing space will be renovated, with 28,950 gsf of new construction. The proposed building will employ a palette of brick veneer over concrete masonry units with punched aluminum windows and a base of decorative concrete masonry. The roof will be a combination of conventional pre-finished standing seam metal roof and low-slope built-up roofing.
