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. ***

小行星9313437纽韦尔 逸夫大学的科学和技术部设在罗伯茨科学馆，建于1924年。Shaw University是一所历史悠久的黑人大学，具有通过科学研究生院的研究培训为少数民族学生做好准备的悠久传统。由于缺乏合适的实验室环境，教师对学生参与研究项目的承诺受到阻碍。该建筑最近进行了改造（新窗户，油漆和地板），但其电气，通风，供暖，制冷和管道系统不足以用于研究和研究培训目的。该大学计划对大楼进行翻修，以解决这些问题，并进行修改，使大楼对残疾人无障碍。 罗伯茨科学厅的改造将有几个重要的影响：1）使教师在一些科学学科的研究; 2）为研究仪器创造安全和合适的环境; 3）支持研究培训作为本科课程的一部分; 4）促进学生与教师的研究合作;和5）吸引少数民族学生进入科学和工程职业生涯。 ***
