MCERC is hopeful we will be able to purchase a large education and research facility. It is our goal to offer affordable office and laboratory space to graduate students and senior investigators in a common facility. Sleeping space and classroom space will aid in maintaining low cost programming where course participants and interns will not have to seek out their own accommodations and transportation.
