Renovation and Replacement of Research Facilities of the College of Natural Sciences

波多黎各大学b里约热内卢Piedras的首要任务之一是营造一个强大的研究环境。因此，该方案致力于改善该机构的学术科学基础设施。为了响应这一承诺，自然科学学院将进行一个翻新Facundo Bueso大楼研究设施的项目。该项目包括：1)整修1个物理实验室和12个化学实验室；2)搬迁到生物博物馆的FB大楼，并提供支持设施和3个系统学实验室，这些实验室目前位于一栋旧建筑内。该合同将支持电气和管道系统的全部或部分维修、火灾报警器的安装、安装新的或更换腐蚀的通风柜、管道和实验室家具、地板和天花板的维修。用更高效的冷却系统取代现有的墙式或窗式空调。该项目将确保更好地利用设施，增加西班牙裔研究生在系统学、天然产物、材料科学、电化学、激光光谱学和光化学等领域进行研究和研究培训的有效空间。无机光化学和生物膜。

One of the highest priorities at the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras is to foster a strong research environment. UPRRP is therefore committed to the improvement of the institution's academic scientific infrastructure. In response to this commitment, the College of Natural Sciences will undertake a project of renovation of research facilities at the Facundo Bueso (FB) building. The project provides for the 1) renovation of one Physics and twelve Chemistry laboratories, 2) the relocation to the FB building of the Biology Museum, support facilities and three systematics laboratories, now housed at an older building. This award will support the total or partial repair of electrical and plumbing systems, installation of fire alarms, installation of new or substitution of corroded fume hoods, ducts and laboratory furniture, floor and ceiling repair, and substitution of existing wall or window units of air conditioning for a more efficient cooling system. The project will assure a better use of facilities and increase the effective space available for research and research training of graduate Hispanic students in areas such as systematics, natural products, material sciences, electrochemistry, laser spectroscopy and photochemistry, inorganic photochemisty, and biomembranes.
