New College, the Honors College of the University of South Florida, is the recipient of ARI funds to replace 9,778 square feet (911 square meters) of deteriorating marine biological research space. This project is part of a general enhancement of the natural science facilities. Since the inception of New College in 1960, independent research studies on marine organisms have been an important part of the scholastic activities pursued by biology faculty and students. The marine facility reflects the central role that marine biology plays in the mission of a college that borders Sarasota Bay. Currently, research areas, seawater systems, and field equipment are scattered across five building some distance away from the bay. Completion of the facility will increase productivity of research activities by permitting: increased number of projects; possibilities for studying a wider range of marine organisms and ecosystems; and better control of environmental variables for maintaining and investigating a variety of organisms. The new facility will also have a significant impact on the number of New College graduates entering the professional biological science pipeline, not only in traditional marine biology, but also in the areas of behavior and community ecology, population genetics, reproductive and conservation biology and neuroscience.

新学院，南佛罗里达大学的荣誉学院，是ARI基金的接受者，以取代9,778平方英尺（911平方米）不断恶化的海洋生物研究空间。 该项目是全面加强自然科学设施的一部分。 自1960年新学院成立以来，对海洋生物的独立研究一直是生物学教师和学生所追求的学术活动的重要组成部分。 海洋设施反映了海洋生物学在萨拉索塔湾边界的一所大学的使命中发挥的核心作用。 目前，研究区、海水系统和现场设备分散在离海湾有一段距离的五座建筑物中。 该设施的建成将提高研究活动的生产力，因为可以：增加项目数量;有可能研究更广泛的海洋生物和生态系统;更好地控制环境变量，以维持和调查各种生物。 新设施也将对进入专业生物科学管道的新学院毕业生的数量产生重大影响，不仅在传统的海洋生物学，而且在行为和社区生态学，种群遗传学，生殖和保护生物学和神经科学领域。
