This award provides support for the construction of a multi-use housing facility that will diminish overcrowding in the housing provided to students participating in summer laboratory research, and enhance the ability of the laboratory to accommodate students, teachers and investigators attending courses, conferences, and symposia year round. The Laboratory provides access for visiting students and scientists who study the unique marine ecosystems of coastal Maine and use cold water marine species for the purpose of investigating basic biological mechanisms such as osmoregulation, cell division, reproduction and the function of vertebrate organs. The laboratory also offers educational programs for students at various levels from high school to postdoctoral. The ability of MDIBL to accommodate participants in its various activities is currently limited by the quality and quantity of available housing, in particular the housing for undergraduate students during the peak summer season, student/faculty groups taking marine related short courses during the academic year, and investigators seeking short stays for research during the winter months. These funds will be used to help construct the second of two housing units whose design was chosen to maximize flexibility of current and future use, economy of construction and harmony with the surrounding land and community. This unit will be insulated and heated to provide much needed accommodations in the colder months.

该奖项为多用途住房设施的建设提供支持，这将减少为参加夏季实验室研究的学生提供的住房的过度拥挤，并提高实验室容纳学生、教师和研究人员全年参加课程、会议和专题讨论会的能力。该实验室为研究缅因州沿海独特海洋生态系统的访问学生和科学家提供访问机会，并利用冷水海洋物种研究渗透调节，细胞分裂，繁殖和脊椎动物器官功能等基本生物机制。该实验室还为从高中到博士后的各级学生提供教育项目。MDIBL容纳各种活动参与者的能力目前受到可用住房的质量和数量的限制，特别是夏季高峰期间本科生的住房，学年期间参加海洋相关短期课程的学生/教师团体，以及在冬季寻求短期研究住宿的调查人员。这些资金将用于帮助建造两个住宅单元中的第二个，其设计选择了最大限度地提高当前和未来使用的灵活性，建筑的经济性以及与周围土地和社区的和谐。这个单元将被隔热和加热，以提供在寒冷的月份急需的住宿。
