This award provides partial support for renovations of an existing building to expand laboratory space available for staff and for visiting students and researchers at the Archbold Biological Station. The renovation will convert existing attic space in the Station's main building into 6,000 sq. feet of space devoted to new open-plan laboratories, storage space, small offices and informal meeting areas. The renovation will also increase access to the computer network, and improve building infrastructure with new insulation and upgraded air handling. Research activities at Archbold focus on a distinctive natural ecosystem, the Florida scrub, that has dry, sandy conditions and that is subject to frequent natural fires. Studies range from genetics of rare species to landscape-scale analysis of the effects of fire on species distribution and on ecosystem processes. In addition to its research programs, the Archbold Station has active programs aimed at informal science education, including a nature trail, guided tours of the Station conducted by volunteer docents, and public seminars.

该奖项为现有建筑的翻新提供部分支持，以扩大实验室空间，为Archbold生物站的工作人员、访问学生和研究人员提供空间。改造将把车站主楼现有的阁楼空间改造成6000平方米。几英尺的空间专门用于新的开放式实验室、存储空间、小型办公室和非正式会议区。翻新工程还将增加计算机网络的接入，并通过新的绝缘材料和升级的空气处理来改善建筑基础设施。阿奇博尔德的研究活动集中在一个独特的自然生态系统上，佛罗里达灌木丛，干燥，多沙，经常发生自然火灾。研究范围从稀有物种的遗传学到火灾对物种分布和生态系统过程影响的景观尺度分析。除了研究项目外，阿奇博尔德站还积极开展非正式科学教育项目，包括一条自然小径、由志愿讲解员带领的站内导览和公共研讨会。
