The Connecticut Veterans of Foreign Wars objected to this decision. Renovations were conducted in 1977 and 2004, the latter adding an additional wing. In 2005, the gymnasium was renamed "David Strong Gymnasium." On May 9, 2017, the track surrounding the newly constructed turf field was dedicated as the Edmund Butler Track.
