FSML: Refurbishment of Bullfrog Camp Complex

Edmund奈尔斯Huyck保护区和生物研究站（HPBRS）是一个非营利会员制公司，其目的是保护，研究和生物科学教育。这个800公顷的保护区占据了十里溪周围的地区，十里溪是纽约州奥尔巴尼县海尔德伯格高原上的一个悬谷。1994年至1998年，52名博士一级科学家和60名研究生和研究助理对保护区进行了研究。这些研究人员中有40人获得了HPBRS的一项或多项赠款，以支持他们的工作。这些科学家来自13个州和7个国家的28所大学。自1994年以来，13名博士生和11名硕士生对保护区进行了研究。目前正在进行7个项目。在此期间，有11名博士后在这里工作。HPBRS为所有年龄段的学生提供教育机会，包括解释性图尔斯之旅、全天讲习班、教师培训讲习班、学校咨询和老年人宿舍。自1994年以来，已有2369名小学生、1024名中学生、1360名大学生和310名教师参观了保护区，实践环境科学。从1986年开始，HPBRS开始实施一项计划，改善其物理设施，以增加使用它的科学家和学生的数量。1988年，埃尔德里奇实验室的研究设备得到了升级。在随后的两年里，实验室大楼进行了防寒和翻新，林肯池塘小屋也是研究人员的住所之一。1992年，HPBRS董事会批准了一项长期计划，继续发展保护区的基础设施。该计划认识到，保护区需要一个扩大的实验室和更合适的住宅访问研究人员。1995年，保护区得到了实验室扩建的支持，该项目将对四个建筑进行翻新，这些建筑被统称为牛蛙营地综合体，这是访问研究人员和学生的两个主要住所之一。这项工作将包括重建牛蛙营地小屋，以增加住房空间，改善厨房和用餐区。一个新的澡堂将被建造。鸟屋小屋将被翻新，马小屋将成为一个两间卧室的设施。所有建筑物都将是无障碍的。牛蛙营地的翻新将提高HPBRS在清洁和安全的环境中容纳研究人员和学生的能力。牛蛙营地综合体的翻新将改善所需的基础设施，以增加生物领域科学的研究和培训。

The Edmund Niles Huyck Preserve and Biological Research Station (HPBRS) is a not-for-profit membership corporation whose purposes are preservation, and research and education in the biological sciences. The 800 ha preserve occupies the region around the Ten Mile Creek, a hanging valley on the Helderberg Plateau in Albany County, NY. Between 1994 and 1998, 52 Ph.D. level scientists and 60 graduate students and research assistants have conducted studies on the Preserve. Forty of these researchers received one or more grants from the HPBRS to support their work. These scientists came from 28 colleges and universities in 13 states and 7 countries. Since 1994 13 doctoral and 11 master candidates conducted research on the Preserve. Currently 7 dissertation projects are underway. Eleven postdoctoral associates have worked here in that time. The HPBRS offers educational opportunities for students of all ages including interpretative tours, all-day workshops, teacher training workshops, consulting in schools, and Elderhostel. Since 1994, 2369 elementary, 1024 secondary, 1360 undergraduates and 310 teachers have visited the Preserve to practice hands-on environmental science.Beginning in 1986, the HPBRS embarked on a program to improve its physical facilities to increase the numbers of scientists and students utilizing it. In 1988 research equipment in the Eldridge Lab was upgraded. Over the subsequent two years the laboratory building, was winterized, and refurbished as was Lincoln Pond Cottage, one of the researcher residences. In 1992 the HPBRS's Board of Directors approved a long-term plan to continue the development of the Preserve's infrastructure. That plan recognized that the Preserve needed an enlarged laboratory and more appropriate residences for visiting researchers. In 1995 the Preserve received support for the laboratory addition.This project will refurbish the four structures collectively known as Bullfrog Camp Complex-one of the two primary residences for visiting researchers and students. The work will include rebuilding Bullfrog Camp cabin to increase housing space and improve the kitchen and dining areas. A new bathhouse will be built. Bird House cabin will be renovated and the Horse cabin made into a two bedroom facility. All buildings will be handicap accessible. The refurbishment of Bullfrog camp will increase the ability of the HPBRS to house researchers and students in a clean and safe environment. The refurbishment of the Bullfrog Camp Complex will improve the infrastructure needed to allow for an increase in research and training in biological field sciences.
