NSF and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee will jointly fund the renovation of a portion of Lapham Hall for research and research training in Conservation Biology. The research integrates both theoretical and applied aspects of ecology, evolution, systematics and ecosystems research. The program stresses a solid foundation in conceptual approaches and extensive experiences in laboratory and field methods. The current laboratory space, originally constructed in 1959-1960 as a teaching facility, has limited the program's ability to conduct experimental research activities. With the support of NSF, the researchers will rectify serious environmental problems in the aquarium facility including the upgrade of the dechlorination system, improved water temperature control, installation of controlled lighting, and provision of adequate ventilation. In addition, award monies will be utilized to install three new growth chambers and renovate a fourth. Three of the existing units are 28 years old and deteriorated beyond repair. Emergency power will be supplied to both the aquarium room and the growth chambers as part of the renovation effort.

NSF和威斯康星大学 - 米尔沃基大学将共同资助Lapham Hall的一部分，用于保护生物学研究和研究培训。 该研究既整合了生态学，进化，系统和生态系统研究的理论和应用方面。 该计划强调了概念方法和实验室和现场方法的丰富经验的坚实基础。 当前最初建于1959 - 1960年作为教学设施的实验室空间限制了该计划进行实验研究活动的能力。 在NSF的支持下，研究人员将纠正水族馆设施中的严重环境问题，包括升级氯化系统的升级，改善水温控制，控制照明的安装以及提供足够的通风。 此外，颁奖资金将用于安装三个新的增长室，并翻新第四个。 现有单元中有三个已有28年的历史，无法修复。 作为翻新工作的一部分，将向水族馆和生长室提供应急电源。
