Renovation of Abbott Hall, Chemistry Department

北达科他州大学是ARI资金的接受者，用于基础设施设施的翻新和其化学大楼雅培大厅的实验室案例工作。为了允许本科生和研究生在有足够通风和支持系统的环境中进行实验，翻新是必要的。在大楼的最初设计中，人们预计可以通过使用小桌面罩来消除气体，从而将烟雾从实验室的工作台上排出。多年来，这种安排未能从实验室中清除足够的蒸汽，并减少了可以在大楼内进行的实验类型。为了纠正这个问题，将安装30个通风柜，包括底座柜以及与水、电、通风和其他管道气体和液体的连接。符合ADA要求的无障碍罩将被放置在翻新的实验室中。改善的设施将提供一个安全和愉快的研究培训环境，帮助化学系招收新学生。

The University of North Dakota is the recipient of ARI funds for the renovation of infrastructural utilities and laboratory case work, in its chemistry building, Abbott Hall. The renovations are necessary to permit undergraduate and graduate students to conduct their experiments in an environment that has adequate ventilation and support systems. In the original design of the building, it was anticipated that fumes could be withdrawn from the bench tops in laboratories by using small desk top hoods to remove vapors. This arrangement failed to remove sufficient vapors from the laboratories over the years and has reduced the types of experiments that can be performed in the building. To correct the problem, 30 fume hoods, including base cabinets and connections to water, electric, ventilation, and other piped gases and fluids will be installed. Accessible hoods, meeting ADA requirements, will be placed in the renovated laboratories. Improved facilities will provide a safe and pleasant research training environment, assisting the Chemistry Department in its recruitment efforts to attract new students.
