Renovation of Science Hall

奥尔布赖特学院寻求支持，以改善 为默纳研究服务的公用事业系统- Pfeiffer Hall科学馆 研究的出现 需要环境控制的活动 使大楼的电力系统超负荷运转。 无论是容量还是可靠性， 现有的配电系统 符合现代科学的需要。 适当的温度和湿度控制 将在实验室安装设备， 仪器室，教师/学生研究 和研究培训领域。 最先进的 电子能源管理系统将 安装并与现有系统集成， 屋顶和阁楼也会加隔热层 建筑物。 步入式冷藏设施 将升级。 现有的升降机将 改装成乘客电梯， 残疾人通道。 提供充足的电力 分配系统将允许持续的 安装和使用新仪器， 适当的环境控制。 空气 将安装空调， 设备的适当环境， 研究人员 暑期研究机会 大学生和大三学生将被提供， 为教师提供在职培训， 特别暑期单元，以激发 自然科学的高中生。

Albright College seeks support to improve the utility systems serving research in the Merner- Pfeiffer Hall of Science. The advent of research activities requiring environmental controls has overtaxed the electrical system of the building. Neither the capacity nor the reliability of the existing electrical distribution system is commensurate with the needs of modern science. Appropriate temperature and humidity control equipment will be installed in laboratories, instrumentation rooms, faculty/student research and research training areas. A state-of-the-art electronic energy management system will be installed and integrated with existing systems, and insulation will be added to the roof and attic of the building. Walk-in refrigeration facilities will be upgraded. An existing dumbwaiter will be converted to a passenger elevator to provide handicapped access. The provision of an adequate electrical distribution system will permit the continued installation and use of new instrumentation, with appropriate environmental controls. Air conditioning will be installed to provide an appropriate environment for equipment and researchers. Summer research opportunities for sophomores and juniors will be offered as well as provision of in-service training for teachers and special summer modules to stimulate interest among high school students in the natural sciences.
