During the winter, the ”Laundry” building has undergone major renovations, which finished a few weeks ago. This week our staff started to move the lab equipment, glassware and other small items from the water lab in the main building (also known as a course lab) to the new sea water lab. The old lab will also undergo some renovations later this year and transform into something complete different. Here is a sneak peak to the new seawater lab!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ”Laundry” building (on the left) will significantly improve the field laboratory facilities on the island. Next to it is a red storeroom (”Makasiini”), which includes two climate chambers and a couple freezers, where researchers can store samples during summertime. On the right is the ”Sikala” building, named after its ancient use as a piggery. The building nowadays also functions as a small seawater lab with facilities for indoor and outdoor aquaria experiments. 5.5-6 PSU seawater is supplied to both labs with openings outside the island.<\/p><\/div>\n

The former drying room is still empty, waiting for two aquaria racks to be installed. The space is designed for experimental work.<\/p><\/div>\n

Previously a gym for the staff and visitors, this\u00a0 course room is now a perfect class room for school and university students awaiting to learn about the Baltic Sea and species identification. The cabinets includes new Zeiss stereomicroscopes, acquired with FINMARI funding, and all glassware and plastic items you need in handling samples. Next week the room will receive few finishing touches, when tables and chairs arrive. The room will also include a\u00a0 video projector and a WiFi connection.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
