Maroon Activity Center Marks 20 Years with Fresh Upgrades

By Tim Norbeck Butte Central Foundation

The Maroon Activity Center is celebrating two decades of service to the Butte community with a series of exciting improvements—and more are on the horizon. From infrastructure updates to daily care, the facility continues to evolve as a welcoming space for students, families, and community members alike.

New Entrances and Facility Upgrades

Visitors may notice a refreshed look at MAC: the east doors to the Foundation office and the main entry doors have been replaced, giving both entrances a clean, updated appearance. In the coming weeks, both hot water heaters are scheduled for replacement to improve comfort and reliability.

On the west side of the building, a new drainage system has been installed, helping streamline maintenance and improve overall functionality. Throughout the facility, lighting fixtures that need replacement are being upgraded to energy-efficient LED bulbs—enhancing visibility while reducing energy costs.

Daily Care That Makes a Difference

MAC’s maintenance and custodial team continues to demonstrate exceptional dedication. Bathrooms are cleaned and disinfected daily, and the riding floor machine is used throughout the gym and hallways to keep surfaces spotless. Their attention to detail reflects the pride they take in maintaining the space.

Planning for Long-Term Maintenance

A new plan is being implemented to address deferred maintenance needs, ensuring that repairs and upgrades are prioritized effectively moving forward. This proactive approach will help keep the facility safe, functional, and welcoming for years to come.

A Community Landmark

It’s hard to believe the Maroon Activity Center has been serving the community for 20 years. From athletic events and school functions to community gatherings, MAC stands as a testament to ongoing care, thoughtful planning, and the commitment of those who keep it running.
