ARFMP: Renovation of Space for Global Change Research

研究设施办公室颁发的学术研究设施现代化计划 (ARFMP) 奖项为华盛顿大学提供资金，用于将化学图书馆大楼改建为环境化学设施，该设施将容纳大气和环境化学的跨学科研究和研究培训，包括生物地球化学和全球气候变化关键方面的协调研究计划。 该建筑建于 1957 年，最后一次翻修于 1988 年。受资助者作为成本分摊形式提供的 ARFMP 拨款为 225,000 美元和 335,155 美元，将用于对这些研究和研究培训设施进行现代化改造，为全校范围内的地球和自然科学学科优势提供集中的重点。 该项目将通过对现有通风系统进行重大升级和扩建，包括添加空调，以及按房间重新分配或修改电力和电气系统，来满足改善当前研究基础设施的需求。 该奖项为科学基础设施做出了贡献，为在化学、大气科学和海洋学教师的支持下，在生物地球化学和全球气候变化的关键方面开展具有国家重要性的新的协调研究计划提供了更好的环境，并为高质量的本科生和研究生的培训提供了更好的环境。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to the University of Washington for the conversion of the Chemistry Library Building into the Environmental Chemistry Facility which will house interdisciplinary research and research training in atmospheric and environmental chemistry, encompassing a coordinated program of research in critical aspects of biogeochemistry and global climate change. This building was constructed in 1957 and last renovated in 1988. The ARFMP grant of $225,000 and $335,155 provided by the grantee as cost sharing will be used to modernize these research and research training facilities providing a centrally located focus for campus-wide disciplinary strengths in the earth and natural sciences. This project will address the need to improve the current research infrastructure by means of a major upgrading and expansion of the existing ventilation system, including the addition of air conditioning, and redistributing or modifying the power and electrical systems on a room by room basis. This award contributes to the infrastructure of science by providing an improved environment for the conduct of a new coordinated program of research of national importance in critical aspects of biogeochemistry and global climate change under the aegis of faculty from Chemistry, Atmospheric Sciences, and Oceanography and for the training of quality undergraduate and graduate students.
