The California Wildlife Conservation Board and many generous donors to the UC Natural Reserve System have contributed funds that were used to construct a much-needed new facility on the Kendall-Frost Marsh Reserve in Mission Bay. The new facility serves research, education, and community service.

The new building features:

A large multipurpose room to serve as a workplace, classroom for local students, community room, or event space
A module to house overnight researchers, including a work area, office space, and facilities to secure expensive equipment
A large deck, serving as an outdoor classroom, bird-watching overlook, a gathering spot during community events, and offering a pristine view of Mission Bay
Food preparation and reception areas
