(Riverton, WY) – The much-anticipated Riverton High School Auditorium will have a groundbreaking ceremony on Wednesday, April 10, at 3 p.m.
The 14,978 square foot addition will have seating for 545 and provide students with hands-on theatre experience.
This has been in the works since the high school was built, shared Ted May, Fremont County School District #25 Buildings and Grounds Supervisor.
“The auditorium did not get built as part of the high school. And ever since, it’s been tried to be added on and now we’re finally getting it done.”
The project is expected to cost $9.3 million, with the bulk of the funding coming from the state and some from the district for enhancements.
Those enhancements include approximately 2,500 square feet, a covered main entry to the auditorium and high school main entry, and additional theatrical upgrades, according to May.
