In 2014, funding was approved by Sonoma County voters for the Santa Rosa Junior College District to utilize Measure H tax bonds for $410 million in upgrades and renovations to SRJC campus buildings over the next decade. Included in the funding was $30 million for the Burbank Auditorium to be completely renovated. The auditorium itself was 77 years-old and in need of significant repair to enhance the space including improving vantage points for the audience and implement ADA upgrades throughout the facility. As a local historical building, the exterior of the building was to remain intact through the construction process.
