Improvement of Housing at H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest

安德鲁斯实验森林位于俄勒冈瀑布西部，占地16,000英亩(6400公顷)，是美国林务局的财产，致力于研究和教育。它由俄勒冈州立大学(OSU)和美国林业局太平洋西北研究站(PNW)联合管理。安德鲁斯森林及其附近的研究自然区的研究用途很多，在过去5年中，每年都有超过7000个研究人员日和100多个单独的项目。然而，目前过夜的能力是不够的，而且随着陈旧的拖车达到谴责的程度，情况可能会变得更糟。自1985年以来，容量已从54个下降到40个，并将在未来两年减少到28个，除非创造新的空间。很简单，这家研究网站正面临一场房地产危机。这个项目将帮助建造两栋四层楼的宿舍。俄亥俄州立大学承诺提供56,000美元，PNW承诺提供137,000美元，两者各占一半。这两个四合院将增加过夜能力，包括卧室、两个带淋浴的浴室和一个厨房起居区。卧室(约100平方米)英国《金融时报》每个)将包括床、书桌、书架和衣柜。四合院将是普通但坚实的6英寸钉，外部的T-1-11壁板，石膏板，和胶合板细木工。它们还将采用R-19墙和地板、R-32天花板和双层玻璃窗进行良好的隔热。

The H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest is a 16,000 acre (6400 hectare) U.S. Forest Service property in the western Oregon Cascades dedicated to research and education. It is jointly administered by Oregon State University (OSU) and the U.S. Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station (PNW). Research use of the Andrews Forest and nearby Research Natural Areas is heavy, with more than 7000 researcher-days of use and over 100 separate projects in each of the last 5 years. Current overnight capacity is inadequate, however, and threatens to get worse as old, worn out trailers reach the point of condemnation. Since 1985, capacity has declined from 54 to 40 and will decrease to 28 in the next two years unless new space is created. Quite simply the research site is facing a housing crisis. This project will help construct two quadruplex dormitories. OSU has pledged $56,000 and PNW $137,000 for a total of $193,000, a 50/50 match. The two quads would increase overnight capacity bedrooms, two bathrooms with showers and a kitchen-living area. Bedrooms (about 100 sq. ft. each) will contain a bed, desk, bookcase, and wardrobe. The quads will be plain but solid with 6 inch studding, exteriors of T-1-11 siding, drywall panelling, and plywood cabinetwork. They will also be well insulated with R-19 walls and floors, R-32 ceilings, and double-glazed windows.
