This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to the University of Detroit for the renovation and repair of the Chemistry Building which houses the research and research training activities of the Chemistry Department. This building was constructed in 1926 and last renovated in 1965. The ARFMP grant of $200,000 and $254,400 provided by the grantee as cost sharing will be used to modernize these research and research training facilities. This project will address the need to improve the current research infrastructure by modifying the space, electrical and ventilation systems, and the hood capacity and other furnishings of three outdated laboratory areas. These modifications will result in the creation of three new laboratories meeting current health and safety standards which will be used for (1) chemical characterization and testing, (2) physical measurement and computation, and (3) polymer synthesis. This award contributes to the infrastructure of science and engineering by providing an improved environment for the conduct of research and for the training of undergraduate and graduate students in a department with a particular commitment to local outreach programs that are making a clear impact upon the recruitment of students, including minority students, into chemistry. The renovation will encourage gifted minority students to go into the fields of science and engineering at the University of Detroit which has a significant enrollment of Black students.

这项学术研究设施现代化计划（ARFMP）由研究设施办公室颁发，为底特律大学提供资金，用于化学大楼的翻新和维修，化学大楼是化学系研究和研究培训活动的所在地。这座建筑建于1926年，最后一次翻修是在1965年。受资方提供的20万美元和25.44万美元的ARFMP赠款将用于使这些研究和研究培训设施现代化。该项目将通过改造空间、电气和通风系统、通风柜容量和三个过时的实验室区域的其他家具来解决改善当前研究基础设施的需求。这些修改将导致三个符合当前健康和安全标准的新实验室的创建，这些实验室将用于(1)化学表征和测试，(2)物理测量和计算，以及(3)聚合物合成。该奖项为科学和工程的基础设施做出了贡献，为研究的进行提供了更好的环境，并为本科生和研究生的培训提供了一个部门，特别致力于当地的推广项目，这些项目对招收学生，包括少数民族学生，进入化学领域产生了明显的影响。翻新工程将鼓励有天赋的少数族裔学生进入底特律大学的科学和工程领域，该大学有大量的黑人学生。
