The Renovation of Wright Laboratory of Physics

奥伯林学院为莱特物理实验室的部分翻修申请资金。翻修将包括安装一个新的供暖、通风和空调系统以及现代辅助实验室服务，包括去离子水、生活用水、化学水槽和排水沟、通风柜、现代电力和闭路冷却系统。内墙和天花板将被屏蔽，不受无线电频率干扰，并将重新定位，以创建适当大小的房间。翻新后的设施将包括一个湿化学实验室，能够支持有限的光刻。翻新将提高教员研究的质量和范围，增强系吸引女性和少数族裔教员的能力，允许恢复最近被放弃的项目，增加学生参与研究的机会，改进依赖于高质量暖通空调、湿化工设施和电气环境的中高级实验室课程。

Oberlin College requests funds for partial renovation of the Wright Laboratory of Physics. The renovation will include the installation of a new heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system and modern ancillary laboratory services, including deionized water, domestic water, chemical sinks and drains, fume hoods, modern electric power, and a closed-loop cooling system. Interior walls and ceilings will be shielded against radio-frequency interference and relocated to create appropriately-sized rooms. The renovated facility will contain a Wet Chemistry Lab capable of supporting limited photolithography. The renovation will improve the quality and scope of faculty research, enhance the ability of the department to attract women and minority faculty members, allow the reinstatement of projects that have recently been abandoned, increase the number of opportunities for students to participate in research, and improve the intermediate and advanced laboratory courses, which are dependent on high-quality HVAC, wet chemical facilities and electrical environment.
