Renovation of Research and Education Spaces at the Telonicher Marine Laboratory, Humboldt State University

该奖项支持弗雷德Telonicher海洋实验室的教室和办公空间的翻新。 该实验室位于加利福尼亚州特立尼达，提供了进入附近各种海洋和陆地栖息地的机会，包括广泛的岩石潮间带、沙滩、受保护和暴露的潮下带、泻湖和河口、泥滩、鳗草床和海底峡谷。实验室的主楼包括两个大教室，14个教师和研究生办公室，研究实验室和用于支持教育和研究活动的额外空间。一个过滤的海水系统供应教室，一个大型的湿实验室与许多持有罐，和一个小型的公共水族馆。该实验室提供了一套多元化的海洋为导向的研究和教育计划，包括大学水平的课程，研究生研究，K-12编程，并为公众提供自助图尔斯之旅。该实验室靠近各种栖息地，并有能力在实验室保持各种各样的生物允许“动手”的实验室和现场经验的学生。15名教师经常使用海洋设施进行研究和教学。现有实验室空间、办公室和教室的数量和质量使实验室难以容纳来访的科学家、额外的教师和更多的学生。利用该奖项提供的支持，该机构将翻新三个大房间，以创造更多的研究空间，并提高目前用于教学和教师办公室的空间的质量和实用性。翻新后的教室将为课程讲座和实验室提供更优越的上级空间。实验室可同时开设两门课程，并有更多空间开设新课程。将提供的讲座和实验室课程包括：生物海洋学，化学海洋学，地质海洋学，浮游动物生态学和河口生态学。 此外，由于翻修，所有三个房间都将满足ADA对轮椅通道的要求。

This award supports renovation of classroom and office space at the Fred Telonicher Marine Laboratory. Located in Trinidad, CA, the laboratory provides access to a variety of nearby marine and terrestrial habitats, including an extensive rocky intertidal zone, sand beaches, protected and exposed subtidal areas, lagoons and estuaries, mudflats, eelgrass beds, and submarine canyons. The Laboratory's main building includes two large classrooms, 14 offices for faculty and graduate students, research labs and additional space used to support education and research activities. A filtered seawater system supplies classrooms, a large wet laboratory with numerous holding tanks, and a small public aquarium. The Laboratory offers a diverse set of marine-oriented research and educational programs, including college level courses, graduate research, K-12 programming, and self-guided tours for the general public. The Laboratory's close proximity to a variety of habitats and the ability to maintain a wide variety of organisms at the laboratory permit "hands on" laboratory and field experiences for students. Fifteen faculty members regularly use the marine facilities for research and teaching. The amount and quality of existing laboratory space, offices and classrooms has made it difficult for the Laboratory to accommodate visiting scientists, additional faculty and more students. Using the support provided by this award, the institution will renovate three large rooms to create additional research space and to improve the quality and utility of space currently used for teaching and faculty offices. The renovated classrooms will provide a far superior space for conducting course lectures and laboratories. Separate rooms will allow the Laboratory to offer two courses concurrently, making more space available for new classes. The lecture and laboratory courses to be offered will include: biological oceanography, chemical oceanography, geological oceanography, zooplankton ecology, and estuarine ecology. In addition all three rooms will meet ADA requirements for wheelchair access as a result of the renovations.
