CHANUTE, Kan. (KOAM) - Chanute High School announces plans for the construction of an expansive Animal Science Learning Center.

The proposed Animal Science Learning Center is set to become a versatile facility with a range of activities, from classroom and laboratory setups to live animal housing, feed trials, and hands-on demonstrations.

The center plans to provide space for critical functions such as gestation/parturition experiences, Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) Project Space, and processing of animal products.

The facility is projected to cost upwards of $1.4 million, the center aims for completion by Spring 2025.

USD 413 has received a significant boost through a generous land donation south of the high school, valued at $400,000.

Collaborative efforts between community volunteers and the USD 413 Foundation are underway to bridge the funding gap and ensure compliance with relevant codes and ordinances.
