Direct answer: Yes. Barack Obama oversaw White House renovations during his presidency, notably converting the tennis court into a full-size basketball court in 2009 and overseeing other updates, but he did not embark on a project as large as a new ballroom or a complete structural overhaul. His administration also supported ongoing maintenance and refurbishments of various rooms, including the State Dining Room refurbishment completed around 2015, and general upgrades to systems and security as part of standard modernization efforts. The White House has a long history of renovations by multiple presidents, with Obama’s changes representing part of that ongoing pattern rather than a single, unprecedented overhaul.
