This award to Clark University is for renovation and reconfiguration of chemistry research laboratories, with particular emphasis on improving the fume hoods and HVAC system. The project continues their recent efforts to build a modern facility, support research and research training, and provide means to meet their science equipment needs into the next century for their small, quality doctoral chemistry research program which has just received a $400,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Education to assist it to expand its graduate student numbers by 50%, with particular attention to the recruitment of women and minorities. The project includes complete removal and replacement of the fume hoods and associated duct work in Jeppson Laboratory; renovation of the HVAC system to accommodate the new air flows; and upgrades and reconfiguration of several research laboratories to adapt them to the current needs of the chemistry faculty and accommodate the increased number of research students. The laboratory renovations, although minor in scope, will greatly enhance productivity and safety, and will allow the full utilization of existing space that will be required to accommodate the increased numbers of researchers associated with the Ph.D. program expansion.

克拉克大学的这一奖项是为了奖励化学研究实验室的翻新和重新配置，特别是改善通风柜和暖通空调系统。该项目继续他们最近的努力，以建立一个现代化的设施，支持研究和研究培训，并提供手段，以满足他们的科学设备需求到下个世纪，他们的小，高质量的博士化学研究项目刚刚从美国教育部获得了40万美元的资助，以帮助其将研究生人数增加50%，并特别关注女性和少数族裔的招聘。该项目包括彻底拆除和更换杰普森实验室的通风柜和相关的管道工程；改造暖通空调系统以适应新的气流；以及几个研究实验室的升级和重新配置，以使其适应化学教员的当前需求，并容纳越来越多的研究型学生。实验室改造虽然规模不大，但将极大地提高生产率和安全性，并将允许充分利用现有空间，以容纳与博士项目扩展相关的越来越多的研究人员。
