ARFMP: Renovation of Chemistry Department Support Systems

这项由研究设施办公室颁发的学术研究设施现代化计划(ARFMP)奖为爱达荷州大学提供资金，用于翻新和维修Renfrew Hall，该大厅是化学系的研究和研究培训活动的所在地。这座建筑建于1963年，最后一次翻修是在1981年。受赠人提供的1 300 000美元和1 948 000美元的ARFMP赠款作为费用分摊，将用于使这些研究和研究培训设施现代化。该项目将通过升级通风、电气、管道、照明以及火灾探测和保护系统，在实验室服务的当前标准以及联邦和州的安全要求方面满足改善当前研究基础设施的需要。该奖项为爱达荷州唯一的授予博士学位的化学项目提供了一个更好的进行研究和培养高质量本科生和研究生的环境，从而为科学基础设施做出了贡献。通过这次改造，这些实验室培养学生满足国家和民族未来需求的能力将得到显着提高。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to the University of Idaho for the renovation and repair of Renfrew Hall which houses the research and research training activities of the Department of Chemistry. This building was constructed in 1963 and last renovated in 1981. The ARFMP grant of $1,300,000 and $1,948,000 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 both in terms of current standards of laboratory services and of federal and state safety requirements by upgrading the ventilation, electrical, plumbing, lighting, and fire detection and protection systems. This award contributes to the infrastructure of science by providing an improved environment for the conduct of research and for the training of quality undergraduate and graduate students in the only Ph.D.-granting chemistry program in the state of Idaho. The ability to train students in these laboratories to meet the future needs of the state and the nation will be markedly enhanced by this renovation.
