During the 2000-2001 academic year some of this space is being converted to both lecture and laboratory facilities as well as student dormitories. All spaces will be fully air-conditioned and sound insulated to prevent disturbance by aircraft operations near the hanger. Some of these facilities will be available in 2001. The Hangar Building Academic facilities will replace the temporary lectures rooms used previously and for the first time will make laboratory space available on Midway. If funding can be obtained, the Cable Houses will become available in 2003 with the Marine Barracks completing the academic facilities no later than 2005.
Meals consist of both standard American dishes as well as a selection of oriental dishes. .
