Cassidy During the past few years, research and research training activities have increased markedly in the Biology and Chemistry Departments at Southwest Texas State University. This growth has been hampered by several deficiencies in the laboratory facilities available to faculty and students: inadequate electrical power, limited gas lines, antiquated plumbing, and a lack of appropriate fume hoods and ventilation. The university plans to renovate 8,200 square feet of laboratory space that will provide a suitable environment for research and research training in polymer and organometallic synthesis, environmental and industrial science, molecular biosciences, and a fish genetic stock center. This renovation will enhance the research and research training activity at Southwest Texas State University in several significant ways. Faculty research projects will have appropriate environments for new state-of-the-art instrumentation. Collaborative student-faculty research projects will have adequate and appropriate laboratory space. Specialized functions such as the fish genetic stock center will have dedicated facilities with the necessary environmental quality and controls. New faculty will be attracted to the university owing to the availability of high-quality research facilities, and students will be drawn toward careers in the sciences. ***

Cassidy 在过去的几年里，西南德克萨斯州立大学生物系和化学系的研究和研究培训活动显着增加。这种增长受到教师和学生可用的实验室设施的一些缺陷的阻碍：电力不足、燃气管道有限、管道陈旧以及缺乏适当的通风柜和通风设备。该大学计划翻新 8,200 平方英尺的实验室空间，为聚合物和有机金属合成、环境和工业科学、分子生物科学以及鱼类遗传资源中心的研究和研究培训提供合适的环境。 此次改造将从几个重要方面加强西南德克萨斯州立大学的研究和研究培训活动。教师研究项目将为新的最先进的仪器提供适当的环境。 师生合作研究项目将拥有充足且合适的实验室空间。鱼类遗传资源中心等专业功能将拥有具有必要环境质量和控制的专用设施。由于提供高质量的研究设施，新的教师将被吸引到大学，学生也将被吸引到科学领域的职业生涯。 ***
