On September 22, 1989, the worst hurricane in over two hundred years hit the coast of South Carolina and severely damaged or destroyed portions of our marine laboratory complex. The support provided to this project will assist in reconstructing and modernizing research facilities to permit on-going research projects to resume full capacity and to provide an improved research environment for new research programs requiring newer technologies. Specifically, support will be provided for two intertwined aspects of the master reconstruction plan: 1) to partially defray the cost of renovating a damaged laboratory building to make it an experimental seawater laboratory; and 2) to construct a major sector of new space in a larger laboratory facility designed for analytical, computational, data management and experimental programs. The University of South Carolina will provide matching funds and FEMA will assist financially in construction of the new laboratory. These new facilities will greatly enhance research opportunities for both visiting scientists and those from USC.

1989年9月22日，200多年来最严重的飓风袭击了南卡罗来纳州海岸，严重损坏或摧毁了我们的海洋实验室建筑群的一部分。向该项目提供的支持将有助于重建和更新研究设施，使正在进行的研究项目能够恢复满负荷运转，并为需要更新技术的新研究项目提供更好的研究环境。具体地说，将为总重建计划的两个相互交织的方面提供支助：1)部分支付翻修受损实验室大楼的费用，使其成为海水实验实验室；2)在一个更大的实验室设施中建造新空间的主要部分，该设施专为分析、计算、数据管理和实验方案而设计。南卡罗来纳大学将提供配套资金，联邦应急管理局将为新实验室的建设提供财政援助。这些新设施将极大地增加来访科学家和南加州大学科学家的研究机会。
