The Wagner Community Center is nearly 70 years old and was designed to be an elementary school. The District purchased the building and adjacent properties totaling seven acres from MacCormac College in 2003 for $3 million. The District renovated the building, including adding a gymnastics facility in January 2004.
Previous to the District’s ownership, the building was originally Cornille Grade School in School District #3 in Bensenville. In the 1970s it became part of Elmhurst School District 205 but was then sold in 1982 to MacCormac College.
