The new two story addition housing the state-of-the-art chemistry labs will offer a healthy, high quality laboratory and classroom collaborative environment. In addition to the labs, prep rooms, storage and a science team office will be constructed. A future project will include adding outdoor classrooms with native landscaping and a water habitat.
The new building will be a registered Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver project with many sustainable features. LEED is the nation’s pre-eminent program for the design, construction, and operation of high performance, environmentally-friendly “green” buildings.
