Following the completion of the new high school and transition to the middle school, the Performing Arts Center continued to serve the community, but began to fall into a state of disrepair. By the close off the 1990's the Center was in need of a complete restoration.

In summer 2004, a major effort was put forth by the Pacific Grove Rotary Club in partnership with the Pacific Grove Unified School District. This effort completely renovated the interior of the middle school auditorium including complete painting, replacement of all seat coverings, installation of new house lighting, refinishing of the floor and other items. These tasks required over 2500 Rotarian man hours and almost $90,000.00 from funds raised from Rotarians and the generous support of the citizens of Pacific Grove and lovers of the arts from throughout the Central Coast.

The rundown auditorium was reborn as the Performing Arts Center of Pacific Grove. The P.A.C. as it is known was dedicated in late 2004 and has seen a steady rise in concerts and performances from both local and national artists.

Work continues as the installation of an electronic billboard is set to be completed in late 2007. Additional work, funded by the Measure D School Bond is also underway
