A grant has been awarded to the University of Hawaii - Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB), under the direction of Dr. Jo-Ann Leong to renovate an existing laboratory building which is no longer suitable for its intended use. In 1961, a fire destroyed the original laboratory building. NSF provided emergency funding to construct a simple lab-classroom building in 1963. This is the building to be renovated. Renovations will include replacement of the roof, repair of spalling concrete walls, installation of new floors and ceiling, and replacement of benches and sinks. These laboratory improvements will provide a comfortable, modern learning environment at the edge of a coral reef. Students will be able to collect specimens from HIMB's research reserve, keep them in the holding tanks and wet tables on the seaward lanai, and bring them into the classroom and keep them in small tanks while they work. Instructors will be able to collect and display live specimens with ease. The classroom will be used by the Marine Biology Program for five to six weeks a year. The balance of the year the wet lab/classroom will be used by HIMB's Community Education Program and visiting researchers and their students.

夏威夷大学夏威夷海洋生物学研究所 (HIMB) 在 Jo-Ann Leong 博士的指导下获得了一笔赠款，用于翻新不再适合其预期用途的现有实验室大楼。 1961年，一场火灾烧毁了原来的实验楼。 1963年，NSF提供紧急资金建造了一座简易的实验教室大楼。这就是要翻修的大楼。翻新工程将包括更换屋顶、修复剥落的混凝土墙、安装新地板和天花板以及更换长凳和水槽。这些实验室的改进将在珊瑚礁边缘提供一个舒适、现代化的学习环境。 学生将能够从 HIMB 的研究储备中收集标本，将它们保存在临海阳台上的储水箱和湿桌子中，并在工作时将它们带入教室并保存在小水箱中。 教师将能够轻松收集和展示活体标本。海洋生物学项目每年将使用该教室五到六周。 一年中的剩余时间，湿实验室/教室将由 HIMB 的社区教育计划以及来访的研究人员及其学生使用。
