The interior of the south block / first addition houses Knowlton Auditorium and Ove Berven gym. The basement of the south block/first addition is home to the school's cafeteria. The second addition which is located to the south of the main classroom blocks is home to the competition gymnasium, locker rooms, a wrestling mezzanine above the locker rooms, and another gym which has a composite-type floor and is used mainly for wrestling and gymnastics.
