Since January 2021 SAM has been physically built by a dedicated, talented team of staff and volunteers who have lived and worked together at Biosphere 2, from a few days to a year or more at a time. It is their tireless dedication to quality fabrication that has made SAM possible with a limited budget and demanding time frame.
