HASTINGS â Hastings Middle School students will be able to learn about horticulture year-round thanks to a newly constructed geodesic dome on the west side of the school.
Jayson Stoddard, a seventh-grade science teacher, said the main dome structure was built by Growing Spaces of Pagosa Springs, Colo., at the end of October over the course of five or six days.
âWe researched a lot of dome structures and this one (Growing Spacesâ dome) fell more in line with what our aspirations were in the classroom, as far as creating a space we can grow in all year-round,â he said.
The funding for the dome project began with the Hastings Public Schools Foundation.
