Iowa School for the Deaf has announced plans for a new science center to provide students with learning experiences so they will be better prepared to compete with their hearing peers in science careers.

The school, which serves school-aged students from Iowa and Nebraska, has launched a $1.5 million science center fundraising campaign.

More than $1 million is already pledged and donated to the ‘Loud and Clear’ campaign, which will provide funds for the new center.
