Renovation of Roberts Science Building at Shaw University

9313437逸夫大学科技部设于罗伯茨科学馆，建于1924年。逸夫大学是一所历史悠久的黑人大学，有着深厚的传统，即通过研究性培训为少数民族学生准备科学研究生院。由于缺乏合适的实验室环境，教职员工致力于让学生参与他们的研究项目的努力受到了阻碍。该建筑最近进行了翻新(新窗户、油漆和地板)，但其电力、通风、供暖、制冷和管道系统不足以满足研究和研究培训的需要。该大学计划对大楼进行翻新，以解决这些问题，并对大楼进行改造，使其对残疾人无障碍。罗伯茨科学馆的翻新将产生几个重要影响：1)使教师能够在多个科学学科进行研究；2)为研究仪器创造安全和合适的环境；3)将研究培训作为本科课程的一部分；4)促进学生和教师之间的研究合作；5)吸引少数族裔学生进入科学和工程行业。***

9313437 Newell The Science and Technology Division of Shaw University is housed in Roberts Science Hall which was constructed in 1924. Shaw University is an Historically Black University with a strong tradition of preparing minority students through research training for graduate school in the sciences. The faculty's commitment to engaging students in their research programs is hampered by the lack of suitable laboratory environments. The building was recently remodeled (new windows, paint, and flooring) but its electrical, ventilating, heating, cooling, and plumbing systems are inadequate for research and research training purposes. The University plans to renovate the building to address these problems, and to add modifications that will make the building accessible to persons with disabilities. The renovation of Roberts Science Hall will have several important effects: 1) enabling faculty research in a number of scientific disciplines; 2) creating safe and suitable environments for research instruments; 3) supporting research training as a part of the undergraduate curriculum; 4) promoting student-faculty research collaboration; and 5) attracting minority students into careers in science and engineering. ***
