Haskell Indian Nations University in Kansas is in desperate need of a new science building, Rep. Dennis Moore (D) and Sen. Sam Brownback (R) confirmed on Tuesday.
The two lawmakers toured the school's existing science labs and found them in poor condition. "Substandard," Brownback was quoted as saying.
The school needs $10 million to $12 million to build a new facility. Congress has provided $2 million to start planning and design.
The school hopes to have all the funding in place by 2008.
