VIENNA, VA—After about two years of renovations, the Vienna Community Center is set to reopen in September, according to a town news release.

The renovated facility will be 15,000 square feet larger and is anticipated to become LEED certified.

Renovations and additions include:

• A new gym with a basketball court
• A lobby and waiting area with a service counter
• New backboards, rims, flooring, lighting and other equipment in the old gym
• New chairs, carpeting, paneling, control room, sound, and lights in the 200-seat auditorium
• A new, zoned heating and air system

• Improved lighting and information technology capabilities

Construction on the 50-year-old facility began in September 2015. The approximately $13 million project was funded with town reserve money. The project was originally estimated to cost $10.4 million.
