ARFMP: University of Kentucky Chemistry and Physics Research Facility Modernization Project

学术研究设施现代化计划（ARFMP） 研究设施办公室的一项奖励为 肯塔基州大学翻新和维修 化学-物理大楼，系 化学和物理学与天文学系。 这 大楼建于1960年，最近一次翻修是在1988年。 的 研究拨款计划拨款690，000元及由承授人提供4，025，000元， 费用分担将用于使这些研究和研究现代化 培训设施。 该项目将解决需要改进的问题， 目前的研究基础设施，无论是在健康方面， 安全性和研究质量， 提供符合现行规范的通风柜， 确保空气处理排气系统的充足性，以及 拆除和更换所有transite（水泥石棉）管道工程。 该奖项有助于科学的基础设施， 不仅为研究提供了更好的环境， 化学和物理，而且更广泛，因为这些 各部门在各种跨学科的中心作用 肯塔基州大学的课程，因为一些 来自该地区其他国家机构的教师和学生 利用这些设施。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to the University of Kentucky for the renovation and repair of the Chemistry-Physics Building which houses the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Physics and Astronomy. This building was constructed in 1960 and last renovated in 1988. The ARFMP grant of $690,000 and $4,025,000 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 health and safety and of the quality of research that can be conducted by providing fume hoods that are in compliance with current codes, by insuring the adequacy of air-handling exhaust systems, and by removing and replacing all transite (cement asbestos) duct work. This award contributes to the infrastructure of science by providing an improved environment not only for research in chemistry and physics but also more broadly, because these departments have a central role in various interdisciplinary programs at the University of Kentucky and because a number of faculty and students from other state institutions in the area utilize these facilities.
