Replacement of Research Laboratories 2, 4 & 5 Buildings

该项目取代了杰克逊实验室陈旧的研究实验室和研究支助设施，这些设施不能以符合成本效益的方式修复。该项目的新范围仅影响直接用于研究的实验室，并涉及更换位于我们的研究实验室2号楼、研究实验室4号楼和研究实验室5号楼的5,408平方英尺净面积(以下称为RL-2，RL-4和RL-5)。杰克逊实验室的研究项目包括四个领域：遗传学、发育生物学、分子生物学和生物化学与生理学。我们的培训计划旨在满足高中生和大学生、博士后实习生、研究生和知名科学家的需求。此外，这个空间还容纳了转基因小鼠服务、流式细胞计量学服务、微量化学服务和基因靶向/细胞生物学服务。该项目将提供最先进的设施，以提高研究的创造力和生产力，并提高我们培训计划的质量。新设施将纠正过度拥挤的状况以及严重的安全和消防法规缺陷；它们还将提供所需的机械、电气和通风系统，以支持我们目前和未来的研究和培训活动。将全面解决残疾人无障碍使用新设施的问题。这一研究空间的现代化不仅将为工作人员创造一个健康和安全的工作场所，还将大大减少与过时研究设施的运营和维护相关的高昂运营成本。

This project replaces obsolete research laboratories and research support facilities at The Jackson Laboratory which cannot be rehabilitated cost-effectively. The new scope of the project affects only Laboratories that are in direct research use, and involves the replacement of 5,408 net square feet located in our Research Laboratory-2, Reserach Laboratory-4 and Research Laboratory-5 buildings (hereafter known as RL-2, RL-4, and RL-5). The research programs at The Jackson Laboratory encompass four areas: Genetics, Developmental Biology, Molecular Biology and Biochemistry and Physiology. Our training programs are designed to meet the needs of high school and college students, postdoctoral trainees, graduate students and established scientists. In addition, this space houses the Transgenic Mouse Service, Flow Cyometry Service, Microchemistry Service and Gene Targeting/Cell Biology Service. The project will provide state-of-the-art facilities to improve the creativity and productivity of research, and enhance the quality of our training programs. The new facilities will correct overcrowded conditions and critical safety and fire code deficiencies; they will also provide mechanical, electrical and ventilation systems required to support our current and future research and research training activities. Accessibility to the new facility by disabled persons will be fully addressed. The modernization of this research space will not only create a healthful and safe work place for the staff, it will also significantly reduce high operating costs associated with the operation and maintenance of outdated research facilities.
