1483 ALASKAN WAY
The installation of (1) temporary tent for the Seattle Aquarium that will provide a sheltered area for teams to test their sensors for The Wendy Schmidt Ocean Health XPRIZE competition (http://oceanhealth.xprize.org/about/overview). This is a competition that the Aquarium is participating in to create pH sensor technology that will affordably, accurately and efficiently measure ocean chemistry from its shallowest water to its deepest depths. It is vital that the testing environment for these sensors be protected from the elements in order to provide the most accurate test results for the competition. The longer term use of the tent will be to serve as a shelter that will be used during months of inclement weather to provide a place for school children to eat their lunches. The Aquarium is incredibly constrained and at present do not have anywhere the students can bring their lunches to eat. The Seattle Aquarium hosts hundreds of school groups a year and desperately needs somewhere for these groups to be able to eat. The tent structure will be completely taken down after each use and a new permit acquired before re-assembling. The tent will be up for no longer than 180 days at a time. There will be a small channel structure attached to the building to provide the necessary support to the tent frame. It will be painted to match the building as to have as little architectural impact the Aquarium as possible.
