Acquisition of Housing Facility for Visiting Scientists

9412897 Paul，V.关岛大学海洋实验室将建造一个住房设施，供访问研究人员，包括访问研究生住宿。 这座2000平方英尺的建筑将包含三间卧室，两间浴室，一间厨房和一个宿舍式住宿的生活区，以及一个独立的套房，两间卧室，一间浴室和一个公寓式单位的厨房。 早期的支持使大学能够完成这座建筑的建筑和工程计划。 这样的设施被认为是非常重要的，因为1）该机构是在一个孤立的学术环境和访问研究人员是一个宝贵的资源，互动和新的想法，2）飞涨的租金和严重的住房短缺联合收割机相结合，使它很难或不可能找到足够的住宿游客停留不到6个月。 关岛大学实验室支持8名全职教师、众多研究生和本科生以及访问调查员的研究。 由于实验室增加了新的教员，海洋实验室与夏威夷大学和琉球大学最近建立了合作项目，对设施的研究需求增加了（日本冲绳），以及参加第七届国际珊瑚礁大会的550多名科学家对海洋实验室作为珊瑚礁研究资源的认识1992年6月关于关岛的专题讨论会。 新大楼将允许支持越来越多的希望在实验室进行研究的访问科学家，这反过来又将改善研究环境。

9412897 Paul, V. The University of Guam Marine Laboratory will build a housing facility for accommodating visiting researchers including visiting graduate students. The 2000 sq ft building will contain three bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, and a living area for dormitory style accommodations and a separate suite with two bedrooms, one bath, and a kitchen for an apartment style unit. Earlier support allowed the university to complete the architectural and engineering plans for this building. Such a facility is considered extremely important because 1) the institution is in an isolated academic environment and visiting investigators are a valuable resource for interactions and new ideas, and 2) skyrocketing rents and a serious housing shortage combine to make it difficult to impossible to find adequate lodging for visitors staying less than 6 months. The University of Guam Laboratory supports the research of 8 full-time faculty, numerous graduate and undergraduate students, as well as visiting investigators. The research demands on facility have increased due to the addition of new faculty at the laboratory, the recent establishment of collaborative programs between the Marine Laboratory and the University of Hawaii and the University of the Ryukyus (Okinawa, Japan), and the awareness of the Marine Laboratory as a resource for coral reef research by over 550 scientists who attended the 7th International Coral Reef Symposium on Guam in June 1992. The new building will allow the support of increasing numbers of visiting scientists that wish to conduct research at the laboratory , which will in turn enhance the research environment.
