Renovation of Researcher and Student Housing

在伊恩·比里克博士的指导下，落基山生物实验室（RMBL）获得了一笔赠款，用于翻新RMBL的研究人员和学生宿舍。 RMBL是一个生物野外站，成立于1928年，旨在促进生物科学的研究和教育。 来自美国各地众多机构的科学家和学生访问RMBL进行研究和上课。 许多用于容纳科学家和学生的小屋建于75-120年前。 这笔赠款将使RMBL能够为居住在现场的学生和科学家提供安全，清洁的生活设施。 这笔赠款将用于翻修三间小屋。这些建筑建于1880年和1914年，可容纳19名学生和研究助理。 作为该项目的一部分，内部电力系统将被重做，并将对建筑物的外部供电系统进行升级。 还将安装一个环保的光电系统，该系统将产生足够的能源为建筑物供电。 这项工作不仅将提高住房质量，而且还将减少建筑物居民的安全风险。 由于位置偏远，几乎所有的科学家和学生都必须住在现场。 因此，这笔赠款将使RMBL继续为众多科学家和学生提供研究和教育机会。

A grant has been awarded to Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL), under the direction of Dr. Ian Billick, to renovate researcher and student housing at the RMBL. The RMBL is a biological field station that was established in 1928 to promote research and education in the biological sciences. Scientists and students from numerous institutions throughout the United States visit the RMBL to conduct research and take classes. Many of the cabins used to house the scientists and students were constructed 75-120 years ago. This grant will allow the RMBL to provide safe, clean living facilities for the students and scientists who live onsite. This grant will pay for the renovation of three cabins. These structures, built in 1880 and 1914, house up to 19 students and research assistants. As part of this project the internal electric system wil be redone and an upgrade will be made to the external system powering the buildings. An environmentally friendly photo-voltaic system that will generate energy sufficient to power the buildings will also be installed. This work will not only improve the quality of housing, but will also reduce the safety risk to the inhabitants of the buildings. Because of the remote location, almost all scientists and students must live onsite. Consequently this grant will allow the RMBL to continue to offer research and educational opportunities to numerous scientists and students.
