A new, one-story science wing will be attached to the southeast corner of Hastings High School, the Hastings Board of Education decided Monday night.

The wing is being designed by architect Cannon Moss Brygger & Associates. It is the largest project to be completed with money the board borrowed at low interest rates this winter, through a federal stimulus program for schools. Other portions of the borrowed money will be used to air condition the high school, install new windows, new lockers and more.

The board also approved the first step toward air conditioning the school Monday, which will begin in the north and south gyms. Air conditioning is expected to be complete by September, barring unforeseen problems, Director of Technology and Operations Trent Kelly told the board.
