What next

Our Science block (6 Labs, 4 Prep rooms, 1 staff room, and 3 store rooms, plus Chem store) has been unable to get air-conditioning due to the fact the electrical system is not powerful enough to support it (so I have been told). In fact, we can no longer have any new lights because the connections are so old, they don't make the neon or phosphorous tubes any more. But a week ago we were advised that the DET is having a wheelchair accessible LIFT installed, attached to the Science Block. The ramp will cost $300,000 and the lift $100,000. The ramp/lift will be built onto the outside of one of my store-rooms (I lose at least half a store-room) and right beside the chem store.
At this stage we do have a support unit based at this school, but also have three Science labs situated on the ground floor level of the science block. The only other rooms which can be accessed from this level would be two music classrooms - all other subjects are over the other side of the school... HSIE, English, Maths, Art, Home Science.
Wouldn't one think the electrical problems would be fixed, first??
Is it just me or does anyone else see a problem with this??
