SPI (Secondary) needed a hall to conduct daily school activities and to conduct semester and public examinations. The school exams were held in classrooms whereby a row of pupils have to sit along the corridors. Some afternoon session classes had to be cancelled during public examinations as their classrooms were used as examination rooms.
The school initiated a donation drive and ECM Libra Foundation donated RM1,058,000 for the construction costs of the hall. The person responsible for obtaining such a generous commitment is none other than an old Paulian, Dato' Lim Kian Onn, the CEO of ECM Libra.

In conjunction with the construction of the new SPI (Sec) Hall, the school organised the above Run on Saturday, 30 June 2007 at St. Paul's Institution (Sec) Seremban. The run was officially launched by the Hon'ble Dato' Peter Lai Nyit Fee, NS State Exco member, representing the Right Hon'ble Dato' Seri Utama Haji Mohamad bin Haji Hasan, Menteri Besar Negeri Sembilan.
