FSML Repair and Restoration of Existing Housing Used for Visiting Scientists and Graduate Students at the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography

斯基德韦海洋学研究所是格鲁吉亚大学系统的一个小型自主研究单位，拥有15名研究人员和40名长期支持人员。它成立于1967年，任务是在海洋学和海洋科学的所有领域进行研究，并作为格鲁吉亚州任何研究和教育机构的业务基地和中心设施。这一任务和研究所的偏远原始位置，方便沿海和大陆架沃茨，保证访问科学家和学生不断涌入寻求访问斯基德威的国家最先进的研究设施，无障碍的研究地点，并与斯基德威的跨学科和国际公认的研究教师合作的机会。四个较旧的住房单元至少有50年的历史，需要进行大量维修和修复，以保持其目前的可居住性。该项目的必要任务包括：更换所有四个单元的旧瓦屋顶;拆除化粪池系统中的三个单元，并将其与下水道系统连接;更换一个单元的窗户;重新安装两个单元的壁板并使其绝缘;使所有四个单元达到防火安全标准，包括防火墙和硬接线火灾报警器;升级两个单元的电气服务;更换两个单位破旧的厨房和浴室设施;并完成所有四个单位的管道升级。

The Skidaway Institute of Oceanography is a small, autonomous research unit of the University System of Georgia, with 15 research faculty and 40 permanent support staff. It was established in 1967 with the mandate to conduct research in all fields of oceanography and the marine sciences and to serve as a base of operations and central facility for any of the research and educational institutions in the State of Georgia. This mandate and the Institute's remote pristine location, convenient to coastal and shelf waters, guarantee a constant influx of visiting scientists and student seeking access to Skidaway's state-of-the-art research facilities, accessible research locations, and opportunities for collaboration with Skidaway's interdisciplinary and internationally-recognized research faculty. Four older housing units are at least fifty years old and are in need of substantial repair and restoration to maintain their current habitability. Among the necessary tasks for this project are: replacing the elderly shingle roofs of all four units; removing three units from septic tank systems and connecting them to the sewer system; replacing windows in one unit; re-siding and insulating two units; bringing all four unit up to code in fire safety with the inclusion of firewalls and hardwired fire alarms; upgrading electrical service to two units; replacing decrepit kitchen and bathroom facilities in two units; and completing plumbing upgrades in all four units.
