Construction of Housing Accommodations for Visiting Scientists

百慕大生物研究站为常驻和来访的研究人员提供实验室设施和进入独特海洋环境的机会。该站在支持研究生培训和研究方面享有良好的声誉。不幸的是，百慕大对度假者的吸引力使得来访的研究人员在基地外居住的费用过高，而且科考站的住宿能力有限。作为对这一问题的回应，该站主任Knap博士建议为20名访问科学家建造住房。拟议的访客住房将直接和立即改善该站的研究影响。最近研究活动的增长将继续增加，该站将吸引更多种类的研究项目。增加游客住房是该站继续领导海洋研究的长期计划的组成部分。

The Bermuda Biological Station for Research provides resident and visiting investigators with laboratory facilities and access to unique marine environments. The Station has an excellent reputation for supporting graduate training as well as research. Unfortunately, Bermuda's appeal among vacationers has made it prohibitively expensive for visiting researchers to live off-site, and the Station's ability to house visitors has been limited. As a response to this problem, Dr. Knap, Director of the Station, proposes construction of housing for 20 visiting scientists. The proposed visitor housing will improve the Station's research impact directly and immediately. The recent growth in research activity will continue to increase, and a greater variety of research projects will be attracted to the Station. Increased visitor housing is integral to the Station's long-range plans for continued leadership in marine studies.
