Laboratory Modernization for Program in Molecular Synthesis,Structure, and Dynamics

该改造和现代化项目将升级俄勒冈大学化学系内的实验室设施和研究仪器，这些实验室设施和研究仪器位于1960年代的克拉马斯大厅和奥玛克斯桥的三楼区域。这些领域由有机、无机、材料、生物化学家组成的高度互动的高级化学研究小组组成，作为分子合成、结构和动力学（MSSD）的跨学科项目组织。该项目将：(1)对玛瑙桥（Onyx Bridge）约5,200平方英尺的实验室设施进行改造，这些设施已变得不适合现代合成化学，而且不安全；(2)在克拉马斯大厅的核心区翻新约2,300平方英尺的空间，以便将现有的主要仪器整合为一个受监控的共享仪器设施；(3)通过为本科生、研究生和博士后提供合适的实验室，使MSSD项目能够大量增加本科生、研究生和博士后的研究人数；(4)将这些设施中的共享仪器和设备升级到现代规范和标准，以供当前和未来的化学研究。

The renovation and modernization program awarded will upgrade laboratory facilities and research instrumentation in the interconnected third-floor areas of 1960's vintage Klamath Hall and Onyx Bridge, within the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oregon. These areas are occupied by the advanced chemical research groups of a highly interactive group of organic, inorganic, materials, biological chemists, organized as an interdisciplinary program in Molecular Synthesis, Structure, and Dynamics (MSSD). The project will: (1) renovate ca. 5,200 square feet of laboratory facilities in Onyx Bridge that have grown inadequate and unsafe for modern synthetic chemistry; (2) renovate ca. 2,300 square feet of space in the core area of Klamath Hall for consolidation of major existing instrumentation into a monitored shared instrumentation facility; (3) enable the MSSD program to add substantially to its pool of undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral research students by providing suitable laboratories for them; and (4) upgrade shared instrumentation and equipment in these facilities to modern specifications and standards for current and future chemical research.
