NSF and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee will jointly fund the renovation of a portion of Lapham Hall for research and research training in Conservation Biology. The research integrates both theoretical and applied aspects of ecology, evolution, systematics and ecosystems research. The program stresses a solid foundation in conceptual approaches and extensive experiences in laboratory and field methods. The current laboratory space, originally constructed in 1959-1960 as a teaching facility, has limited the program's ability to conduct experimental research activities. With the support of NSF, the researchers will rectify serious environmental problems in the aquarium facility including the upgrade of the dechlorination system, improved water temperature control, installation of controlled lighting, and provision of adequate ventilation. In addition, award monies will be utilized to install three new growth chambers and renovate a fourth. Three of the existing units are 28 years old and deteriorated beyond repair. Emergency power will be supplied to both the aquarium room and the growth chambers as part of the renovation effort.

美国国家科学基金会和威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校将共同资助翻修拉帕姆大厅的一部分，用于保护生物学的研究和研究培训。 该研究整合了生态学、进化、系统学和生态系统研究的理论和应用方面。 该计划强调概念方法的坚实基础以及实验室和现场方法的丰富经验。 目前的实验室空间最初建于 1959-1960 年作为教学设施，限制了该项目开展实验研究活动的能力。 在美国国家科学基金会的支持下，研究人员将纠正水族馆设施中严重的环境问题，包括升级脱氯系统、改进水温控制、安装受控照明以及提供充足的通风。 此外，奖金将用于安装三个新的生长室并翻新第四个。 现有的三个单元已经有 28 年的历史，并且已经严重损坏且无法修复。 作为翻修工作的一部分，将为水族馆室和生长室提供应急电源。
