ARFMP: Modernization of Chemistry Research Space

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)奖为堪萨斯大学提供资金，用于翻新和维修马洛特大厅，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1954年，最后一次翻修是在1980年。受赠人提供的299,839美元和299,839美元的ARFMP赠款作为费用分摊将用于这些研究和培训设施的现代化，以便使积极的研究计划能够继续扩大规模和提高质量。该项目将解决改善现有研究基础设施的需要，方法是将大量现有研究和研究培训空间改建为额外的实验室空间，并处理残疾人无障碍问题以及健康和安全问题。除了重新配置空间外，改造的重点将是增加新的通风柜和更换实验室家具。该奖项通过为化学研究的开展提供一个更好的环境，从而为科学基础设施做出贡献，堪萨斯大学的大部分化学研究处于生物有机化学和无机化学之间的重要交汇点，并为培养高质量的本科生、研究生和博士后学生做出了贡献。这一翻修将确保堪萨斯大学继续成功地将毕业生安置在学术机构以及工业和政府实验室。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to the University of Kansas for the renovation and repair of Malott Hall which houses the research and research training activities of the Department of Chemistry. This building was constructed in 1954 and last renovated in 1980. The ARFMP grant of $299,839 and $299,839 provided by the grantee as cost sharing will be used to modernize these research and training facilities so as to permit an active research program to continue to increase in size as well as in quality. This project will address the need to improve the current research infrastructure by converting a substantial amount of the current research and research training space into additional laboratory space and by attending to issues of handicap accessibility as well as to those of health and safety. In addition to reconfiguring the space, the modifications will focus on the addition of new fume hoods and the replacement of laboratory furniture. This award contributes to the infrastructure of science by providing an improved environment for the conduct of chemical research, much of which at the University of Kansas is at the important interface between bio-organic and inorganic chemistry, and for the training of quality undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral students. This renovation will ensure continued success for the University of Kansas in its placement of graduates in academic institutions and in industrial and government laboratories.
