Investing in the Future
Now is the time to upgrade and fortify our facilities,
ensuring they meet our growing national and inter-
national programs while better adapting to climate
challenges that face our Key Largo ecosystem.
Having served hundreds of thousands of students
amidst rising sea levels and enduring major
hurricanes, we've faced mounting maintenance
costs and ongoing challenges disrupting our
educational mission. As demand for our acclaimed
programs grows, MarineLab requires a holistic
solution to meet these challenges and opportunities
to fulfill our mission.
Your generous support is essential for securing
our organization's promising future. In this initial
funding round of our campaign, we aim to achieve
two significant construction goals.
SEAWALL & DOCK RECONSTRUCTION
We plan to significantly enhance coastal resilience
of our campus, defending against erosion and
storm surges. Work on our seawall and docks will
provide continued safe access and preserve our
local ecosystem.
NEW DORM, CLASSROOMS, & CAFETERIA BUILDING
We plan to replace the ground level and wooden
structures with a durable, energy-efficient concrete
structure, designed to adapt to weather changes
and accommodate our long-term educational goals.
