In 1954 a non-profit holding company was formed in the interest of building a new gym and junior high building. This holding company sent out bonds which were sold to citizens of Scott County to aid in raising enough money to erect the new building.

In March 1955 work was started on this gigantic structure which was to house the future Warriors of Scottsburg and provide classrooms for the junior high.

On Tuesday, November 20, 1956 the completed building was dedicated. It has ten classrooms for sixth, seventh, and eighth grades, an industrial art room with power equipment, a mechanical drawing room, an arts and craft room for seventh and eighth grades, four restrooms, an office, and among other things, a very large and useful lobby in the front.

Of course the other part of the new building is the new gymnasium. This vast auditorium includes a playing floor of regulation size (50 x 84) with six goals (four of which are retractable), 2909 permanent bleacher seats and 768 additional roll-away seats. For the players' benefit there are four dressing rooms.

The approximate cost of this building was $500,000.00.
