Graduate Student Housing for Bodega Marine Laboratory and Reserve

该合同为建造一座3200平方英尺的建筑提供部分支持。博德加海洋实验室(BML)研究生宿舍。博德加海洋实验室和保护区致力于海洋和陆地生境的多学科教学和研究，去年为加州大学戴维斯分校和66个其他学术机构的学生和研究人员提供服务，其中包括来自24个机构的100多名研究生。在过去的36年里，BML和保护区在常驻和访问的科学家、研究生和本科生的研究和教学使用方面经历了强劲的增长。在过去的四年里，研究生的使用量增加了65%。新的住房将允许更有效地利用实验室、周围的保护区和邻近的栖息地进行研究和培训。现有设施不足以支持越来越多的研究生申请在实验室和储备室工作，从而限制了后勤基地支持其主要任务之一的能力。

This award provides partial support for the construction of a 3200 sq.ft. graduate student dormitory at the Bodega Marine Laboratory (BML). The Bodega Marine Laboratory and Reserve are dedicated to multi-disciplinary teaching and research in both marine and terrestrial habitats, serving students and researchers from the University of California at Davis and 66 other academic institutions during the last year, including over 100 graduate students from 24 institutions. BML and the Reserve have experienced robust growth in research and teaching use by resident and visiting scientists, graduate students, and undergraduates during the past thirty-six years. Use by graduate students has increased by 65% in the last four years. The new housing will permit more effective use of the Laboratory, the surrounding Reserve, and adjacent habitats for research and training. Existing facilities are inadequate to support the growing number of graduate student requests to work at the Laboratory and Reserve, thus limiting the capacity of BML to support one of its chief missions.
