District staff said demolition and grading are complete for the new South Stokes animal sciences lab; soil testing and proof roll must finish before vertical construction begins.

Mr. Roberts told the board that demolition and grading for the South Stokes animal sciences laboratory have been completed but that the timeline for construction depends on soil testing and proof roll results. "After we get that completed and proof roll completed, we'll be able to move on to the construction of that building," Mr. Roberts said.

Board members asked where the building would be located; Mr. Roberts said it will sit adjacent to the band building in the lower parking area where an old greenhouse stood.
