Keil: Funds awarded to the University of Dayton will be used to renovate 4,800 square feet of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics research space within the 35 year old Sherman and Wohlleben Halls. The infrastructure of these facilities, especially the HVAC, hood, plumbing and electrical systems is unsatisfactory and compromises the ability, both in scope and rigor, to conduct necessary experiments. In addition, the current state of the laboratories discourages research participation by students. Four faculty and more than twenty students will directly benefit from the infrastructure improvements; research programs examining the regulation of plant metabolism, chemical reactions of DNA molecules, biological applications of ceramic materials, and electro-optics will be enhanced. Student interest in science and participation in research, especially within the under-represented groups, is expected to increase with the opportunity to work in modern laboratories. The NSF-funded portion of the project is part of an ambitious campus effort to renovate more than 200,000 square feet of campus science facilities.

Keil：授予代顿大学的资金将用于翻新已有35年历史的谢尔曼和沃勒本大厅内4800平方英尺的生物、化学和物理研究空间。这些设施的基础设施，特别是暖通空调、通风柜、管道和电气系统不令人满意，并且在范围和严格程度上损害了进行必要实验的能力。此外，目前实验室的状况不利于学生参与研究。四名教师和二十多名学生将直接受益于基础设施的改善；加强植物代谢调控、DNA分子化学反应、陶瓷材料生物应用、电光等方面的研究。学生对科学的兴趣和对研究的参与，特别是在代表性不足的群体中，预计将随着在现代实验室工作的机会而增加。该项目由美国国家科学基金会（nsf）资助，是一项雄心勃勃的校园计划的一部分，该计划旨在翻新20多万平方英尺的校园科学设施。
