FSML: Improvement of the Yellowstone Ecological Research Center's Field Station to Support Collaborative Research and Education in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem

黄石生态研究中心获得了一笔赠款，用于支持建造一座碳中和的多功能建筑，以支持在GYE开展的生物研究和教育活动。拟议的6900平方英尺的结构（以取代现有的过时的结构已经在现场）将提供过夜住宿的18人，会议室/演讲厅50，两个实验室/教室区多达16名学生的团体，专门用于计算机和数据管理，车库/商店/登台区，以及专门用于设备存储和维护的区域。黄石生态研究中心（YERC）是一个非营利组织，成立于1993年，是一个研究和教育大黄石生态系统（GYE）的项目，它的目的是为了满足或超过ADA的要求，并在尽可能的范围内实现碳中和。以黄石国家公园（YNP）和周围的国家森林和野生动物保护区为中心的730万公顷（1800万英亩）的区域。YERC的使命是开展和支持合作研究和教育，以促进科学在黄石地区的作用。

The Yellowstone Ecological Research Center is awarded a grant to support construction of a carbon-neutral, multifunctional building to support established biological research and education activities in the GYE. The proposed 6900 square-foot structure (to replace existing outdated structures already on site) will provide overnight accommodations for 18 people, a meeting room/lecture hall for 50, two lab/classroom areas for groups of up to 16 students, areas dedicated to computers and data management, a garage/shop/staging area, and areas dedicated to equipment storage and maintenance. It is designed to meet or exceed ADA compliance and be carbon-neutral to the extent possible given the extreme climatic regime of Cooke City winter seasons.The Yellowstone Ecological Research Center (YERC) is a non-profit organization that began in 1993 as a program of research and education in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE), a 7.3 million hectare (18 million acre) area centered on Yellowstone National Park (YNP) and surrounding National Forests and Wildlife Refuges. The mission of YERC is to conduct and support collaborative research and education to advance the role of science in the Yellowstone region.
