Construction of Winterized, Self-Contained (Kitchenette), Family-Accommodating, Researcher Housing (Duplex) at the Southwestern Research Station

美国自然历史博物馆（AMNH）的西南研究站（SWRS）位于亚利桑那州东南部，为来自众多美国和国际机构的野外生物学家提供了一个实地研究设施，可以接触到广泛的生物群落和物种多样性。该站的主要目标是提供住宿和科学设施，以支持在一个偏远地点进行研究。该项目解决了在该站工作的研究人员的各种住房需求。复式住宅将在一年中的不同时间为不同的科学客户解决住房问题。首先，它将为多达12人提供额外的睡眠区域，以缓解科学家在春夏季使用高峰时的严重拥挤。其次，作为一个防寒建筑，每个单元都有小厨房，当餐厅因季节关闭时，它将作为研究人员的冬季（11月至3月）住房。第三，它将被用来居住从事夜间生物研究的研究人员和他们的助手，为白天的睡眠提供一个孤立、安静的地方。第四，通过在每个单元中合并两个睡眠区域，复式公寓将适合有孩子的家庭长期居住。该建筑将提供SWRS目前没有的住房条件，从而方便科学家使用该站，并创造以前没有的机会。

The Southwestern Research Station (SWRS) of the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), located in southeastern Arizona, offers field biologists from numerous U.S. and international institutions a field research facility with access to a wide range of biological communities and a great diversity of species. The primary objective of the Station is providing accommodations and scientific facilities to support research at a remote site. This project addresses a variety of housing needs for researchers working at the Station. The duplex residence will solve housing problems, at various times of the year, for a diverse scientific clientele. First, it will provide additional sleeping quarters for up to twelve individuals, relieving acute crowding during peak use by scientists in spring and summer. Second, as a winterized building with kitchenettes in each unit, it will serve as winter (November- March) housing for researchers when the dinning room is closed for the season. Third, it will be used to house researchers and their assistants who are engaged in studies on nocturnal organisms, providing an isolated, quiet location for daytime sleeping. And, fourth, by incorporating two sleeping areas in each unit, the duplex will be appropriate housing for families with children who are the Station for extended periods. The building will provide housing conditions not currently available at SWRS, thus facilitating use of the Station by scientists, and creating opportunities not previously available.
