Replacement of Student-Faculty Research Laboratory and Renovation of Advanced Synthesis Laboratory

位于宾夕法尼亚州卡莱尔的迪金森学院是ARI资金的接受者，为1957年建造的阿尔豪斯科学大楼的翻新项目提供部分资金。为了改进以研究为导向的化学课程，将对现有的实验室空间进行升级和搬迁，以支持有机合成的研究和研究培训。翻新项目的第一阶段将搬迁一个教员研究实验室，靠近一个高级学生的研究实验室，以及为教职员工提供的初级教学实验室。空间将重新配置，为有机铁系统在有机合成中的应用提供现代研究设施。第二阶段的翻修将升级用于高级综合研究的研究、训练场地和基础设施。学生研究实验室将成为高等化学学生未来研究空间发展的典范。研究环境改善的影响将使化学系能够实施课程的关键方面，鼓励学生从研究经验中推断原理，并支持从事综合研究的教员的调查活动。

Dickinson College, located in Carlisle, PA, is the recipient of ARI funds to underwrite part of a renovation project for the Althouse Science Building, constructed in 1957. In order to improve upon a research oriented curriculum in chemistry, existing laboratory space will be upgraded and relocated to support research and research training in organic synthesis. Phase I of the renovation project will relocated a faculty research laboratory in proximity to a research laboratory for advanced students, and primary teaching laboratories for the faculty member. Space will be reconfigured to provide modern research facilities for work in applications of organoiron systems to organic synthesis. Phase II of the renovation will upgrade research training space and infrastructural utilities used for advanced synthesis studies. The student research laboratory will become the model for the development of future research space for advanced chemistry students. The impact of the improved research environment will allow the Chemistry Department to implement key aspects of a curriculum that encourages students to deduce principles from research experience, and support the investigative activities of faculty engaged in synthesis research.
