The architecture of Urbana High School is of the Tudor style, defined primarily by the towers over the main entrance and the flattened point arches over the doors.

During the renovation, areas that had been sealed off during previous construction revealed graffiti dating back to around the 1950s.

Beginning in 2011, the Urbana School District (USD) #116 began construction on several projects to update the older facilities.

It was called the Urbana Tigers Athletic Complex and the project cost an estimated $4.3 million.

[3] Cobb Memorial Auditorium underwent a complete renovation in 2012 which restored and reincorporated the historical features of its earlier design.
