It was announced on June 3, 2009, that the DCU Center would undergo a series of major renovations.
There were to be three or four phases to the renovations, scheduled to avoid the Worcester Sharks AHL season.
Work on the arena was expected to last three to four summers.
Some of the major improvements were a new electrical system, new ice chillers, and a completely new ice floor all of which are original to the arena which opened in 1982.
Other improvements to the arena during phase 1 will include a new dasher board system and a new seamless glass system, which are often found in new arenas.

During the summer of 2012, phase 2 of the renovations began.
These included a new glass wall on the Foster Street side of the building; major improvements to heating, ventilation and cooling systems; upgrades to restrooms and concessions; and a new dehumidification system.
In 2018/2019, a plan of $37 million renovations were announced for the next four years.
