Seawater Laboratory/Culture Facility

该设施项目位于斯坦福大学霍普金斯海洋站，涉及建设一个多功能海水实验室/培养设施。该项目的动机是认识到海洋生物为生物医学、生态和进化研究提供了独特的模型系统，这些系统的重要性正在不断扩大。该实验室将是一个封闭的结构，适合培养海洋标本，保存克隆物种，含有转基因生物，并在受控条件下进行实验。该建筑为单层建筑，占地面积为50X40英尺，毗邻现有的海水输送和出口管道。它将是砖石结构，瓦屋顶和水泥板地板。室内空间被中央墙和连接的门分成两个房间。室内设计非常灵活，以适应新的实验或遏制需求，因为他们出现。特殊设备如冷水机、灭菌设备、罐架、视频监控等将由个别实验室负责使用灵活的空间。新的实验室/培养设施将加强霍普金斯海洋站目前的研究项目，并开辟令人兴奋的新研究机会。

This facilities project at the Hopkins Marine Station, Stanford University, involves the construction of a versatile sea water laboratory/culture facility. The project is motivated by the recognition that marine organisms provide unique model systems for biomedical, ecological, and evolution research and the importance of these systems is continually expanding. The laboratory will be an enclosed structure suitable for culturing marine specimens, maintaining cloned species, containing transgenic organisms, and for conduction experiments under controlled conditions. The building is single storied with a 50X40 ft. footprint and it is sited adjacent to existing seawater delivery and outlet pipes. It will be of masonry construction with tile roof and cement slab floor. The interior space is divided into two rooms by a central wall and connecting doors. The interior design is very flexible in order to accommodate new experiments or containment needs as they arise. Special equipment such as water chillers, sterilization equipment, tank racks, video monitoring will be the responsibility of the individual laboratories using the flexible space. The new laboratory/culture facility will enhance the current research program at the Hopkins Marine Station and open exciting new research opportunities.
