New building[]

For more than twelve years, Luperón had problems with overcrowded hallways, faulty air conditioning and heating, and a lack of gym and lab facilities. Parents and students worked on a campaign to move to a larger space. After many petitions, protests, and public hearings, they achieved their goal: In 2008, a new edifice was constructed at a cost of $41 million, including not just laboratories and a gymnasium, but a larger library, better internet access, and music and art classrooms.
