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

位于宾夕法尼亚州卡莱尔的Dickinson学院是ARI基金的接受者，该基金资助了1957年建造的Althouse科学大楼的部分翻新项目。为了改进以研究为导向的化学课程，现有的实验室空间将被升级和重新安置，以支持有机合成的研究和研究培训。改造项目的第一期将搬迁一个教师研究实验室，靠近一个为高级学生提供的研究实验室，以及一个为教师提供的主要教学实验室。空间将被重新配置，为有机铁系统在有机合成中的应用提供现代化的研究设施。翻修的第二阶段将提高用于高级综合研究的研究、培训空间和基础设施。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。改善研究环境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出原理，并支持从事合成研究的教师的调查活动。

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.
