Planning for a Marine Science Village at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories

Moss Landing海洋实验室(MLML)和圣何塞州立大学已获得资金，为一个学术村进行可行性研究，以提高海洋科学方面的研究人员、研究生和本科生、STEM教育和资源管理人员的能力。MLML是加州中部七所加州州立大学组成的联盟的海洋科学研究生课程。MLML没有为访问研究人员/学生提供可用的资源，也没有为非MLML研究人员提供会议/实验室空间。MLML的大学和学术使命受制于这种能力，即提供一个可以进行协作、讨论和交互的动态位置。为了从潜在利益相关者(加州中部大学和海洋机构、资源经理、大学预科教育机构)的社区中寻求有关所需资源的信息，我们将建立一个特别工作组，与利益相关者进行访谈，并制定实现我们目标的基础设施需求清单。主要目标是为访问研究人员和MLML联盟内外的所有级别的学生提供访问所需的资源的明确愿景。这一学术村的概念蓝图将为空间和机构资源的决策提供信息，作为建筑和项目规划的基础。这些计划最终将在筹集资金后建造实验室、教室、活动中心和会议室。有关MLML的更多信息，请访问我们的网站：http://www.mlml.calstate.edu/.

Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (MLML) and San Jose State University has been awarded funding to conduct a feasibility study for an academic village that will improve the capacity for researchers, graduate and undergraduate students, STEM education, and resource managers in marine science. MLML serves as the graduate program in Marine Science for a consortium of seven California State Universities in central California. MLML does not have available resources for visiting researchers/students or meeting/lab space for non-MLML researchers. The collegial and academic mission of MLML suffers from this ability to provide a dynamic location where collaboration, discussion, and interaction can occur. To seek information on the needed resources from the community of potential stakeholders (central California Universities and marine institutions, resource managers, precollege educational institutions) we will develop a task force, conduct interviews with stakeholders, and develop a list of infrastructural needs to accomplish our goal. The primary goal is a clear vision of the resources needed to provide access to visiting researchers and all levels of students within and beyond the MLML consortium. This conceptual blueprint for the academic village will inform decisions on space and institutional resources as a basis for architectural and program plans. The plans will culminate in construction of laboratories, classrooms, activity centers, and conference rooms after fund raising.
