This is an archival conceptual design of the main facility to be built in McMurdo as part of the Antarctic Infrastructure Modernization for Science (AIMS) effort. Subsequent design refinements are expected to replace, and may already have superseded, this concept.

AIMS is a long-term project to modernize McMurdo Station, making it a more energy and operationally efficient platform from which to support world-class science. Through its Office of Polar Programs, NSF manages the U.S. Antarctic Program, which funds and facilitates the nation’s scientific endeavors on the southernmost continent and the waters around it.
