Compactor Storage for Herbarium Specimens at Missouri Botanical Garden

9631021克罗斯比的密苏里州植物园，从各种政府和非政府机构，基金会和私人捐款之间的伙伴关系的资金，正在建设一个新的研究设施。该建筑将提供最先进的，环保的，抗震的，气候控制的空间，其收藏和研究图书馆，以及研究人员的办公室。 这座新建筑的植物标本室将为花园430万件标本中的大约一半提供自动化存储（其余标本将继续占用现有的植物标本室）。 该奖项代表了植物标本室的压实机车厢和架子购买价格的50%;其他50%将由花园与NSF合作匹配。 该建筑将于1998年完工，随后不久将安装和填充压实机。

9631021 Crosby The Missouri Botanical Garden, with funding from a partnership among a variety of governmental and non-governmental agencies, foundations, and private donations, is building a new Research Facility. The building will provide state-of-the-art, environmentally-friendly, earthquake-proof, climate-controlled space for its collections and research library, as well as offices for researchers. The herbarium room in this new building will provide compactorized storage for approximately one-half of the Garden's 4.3 million specimens (the remainder will continue to occupy the current herbarium building). This award represents 50% of the purchase price of the compactor carriages and shelving for the herbarium room; the other 50% will be matched by the Garden in partnership with NSF. The building will be completed in 1998, and the compactors installed and filled shortly thereafter.
