These buildings will house dormitory accommodations for both men and women as well as more comfortable private rooms for staff or researchers planning to stay on island for longer periods of time. The second floor of the modern steel frame and concrete Hangar Building currently houses the Midway Phoenix Offices but contains a large volume of space that can be converted to other uses. 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.
Meals consist of both standard American dishes as well as a selection of oriental dishes. .
