Hayground School Proposes Plan To Construct New Building On Campus For Art, Science Classes

Mentorships can allow students to work hands-on in professional disciplines, guided by professionals—that was the basis for starting the Hayground School in Bridgehampton more than two decades ago.

The school’s administration has now proposed a plan to expand its campus with a new building designed for arts and science education, where students can work side by side with farmers, scientists, chefs and artists.

“People in the community are becoming increasingly aware that Hayground’s ethos empowers kids to ask questions, engage with their surroundings and develop a passion for learning,” said Sarah Stenn, a member of the school’s development committee. “This growing demand means we need more space to accommodate more Hayground students and campers. Thus, we are in the design and permitting phase and are super excited. It’s a huge project for us.”
