Labs, classrooms to transform LA wharf into marine science center
LOS ANGELES, June 10 () -- A 100-year-old wharf in the Port of Los Angeles will be transformed into a marine research center with laboratories and classrooms, officials say.The revamped historic City Dock 1, opened in 1913, will also feature fish hatcheries and berths for research vessels, they said.Construction is expected to begin next year funded by $123 million from philanthropic organizations and grants from government agencies, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday.The Southern California Marine Institute will become the center's first tenant, occupying around a quarter of the 200,000 square feet of space intended to attract universities, government agencies and industries."There will be hundreds of people working here," said Daniel Pondella, director of the institute,[url=http://www.kbcrussia.com/]true religion outlet[/url], which is affiliated with a dozen universities in the region."We'll rival the world's largest oceanic research institutions," he said. "But we'll differ from them because we'll be at the headlands of the Los Angeles region, and tapping the mind power of its major universities."The marine science center will take its place in the port alongside its ongoing commercial activities, officials said."Cargo and global trade made us a great port and will always be our core business,[url=http://www.fbrecs.com/]jimmy choo outlet[/url]," said Geraldine Knatz, the port's executive director who is also a marine biologist and a leading force in creating the center. "But adding this array of marine science, academia and related industry clusters to our public waterfront will bring a new dimension of economic opportunity to Los Angeles and redefine our stature as a Pacific Rim city."
