The pace of the Science Center expansion seemed to quicken during August, with the completion of the pouring of the addition's foundation and the beginning of the installation of steel framing. The project is on track to be completed a year from now.

Meanwhile, behind Spaulding Gymnasium science faculty and staff have been preparing their temporary lab (trailer) quarters. The four trailers, named Currie, Darwin, Einstein, and Pasteur, will serve as labs for the next year.
