Scientists, politicians, and government officials gathered Aug. 4, 2010, to celebrate the groundbreaking for a new laboratory on the WHOI Quissett Campus that will provide space for major initiatives to create and maintain long-term ocean observatories. The Laboratory for Ocean Sensors and Observing Systems will house scientists and engineers working on the Ocean Observatories Initiative—a $300 million effort funded by the National Science Foundation to build and operate systems of moored buoys, undersea cabled networks, sensors, and autonomous underwater vehicles—all to measure ocean and atmospheric conditions and provide data to scientists and resource managers. The 27,000-square-foot building will also accommodate other ocean observing programs: the WHOI-operated component of the U.S. National Ocean Bottom Seismograph Instrument Pool; the WHOI cabled underwater Martha’s Vineyard Coastal Observatory; and a lab for a revolutionary marine sensor, the Environmental Sample Processor. WHOI received an $8.1 million grant for the construction from the U.S. Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIS T). Funding comes from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grants for constructing new scientific research facilities and from Massachusetts’ John Adams Innovation Institute. Occupancy is scheduled for June 2012.
