The former Lane Hotel at Second and Poplar streets downtown has been renovated for one of Haas Hall Academy’s newest campuses. About 250 students in grades seven through 10 attend the school.
“I’m thoroughly impressed,” said John Burroughs, executive director of the Rogers Historical Museum, after touring the building Tuesday. “I can’t think of anything else that would give that building such a long-term future in Rogers as Haas Hall taking up residence, adapting the building, reusing it and giving it new life.”
