Mesa Public Schools is spending nearly $4.5 million to construct and
renovate biology labs and classrooms at five high schools where
educators are expanding biotech programs.

Changes include filling empty rooms with lab equipment and building
a structure with classrooms and lab space.

The school district's investment in training more students in
biotechnology comes as the demand for lab technicians and
researchers rises with Arizona's growing bioscience industry.

Beginning this fall, some Mesa students in biotech classes will have
the chance to begin working on a research project that involves
decoding the genome of a bacteria and publishing the results.
