Renovation of a Chemistry Laboratory for Research

约翰森梅维尔州立大学，位于北达科他州，服务于该州农业红河河谷地区的一个小社区。 建于1957年的科学大楼，容纳化学系，仍然是最初建造的，没有任何修改。 目前，专门的研究和研究培训设施是不可用的教师和学生追求自己的研究兴趣。 ARI的资金与国家资金相结合，将用于将一个小型实验室、一个暗室和一个化学品储存区改造成专门的研究和研究培训空间。 电气和管道系统将升级，通风系统将改善，以保持研究活动的水平。 为了支持在有机金属、分析和物理化学领域进行的实验，将安装通风柜和一个测量房间长度的工作台。 这个改造项目是不可或缺的部门的努力，提供一个高质量的本科研究计划。 随着62%的学生人口来自小农村地区在东部北达科他州和明尼苏达州西部，大约一半的学生主修化学是女性，这个项目将有一个显着的影响在梅维尔州立大学的本科研究经验。

Johansen Mayville State University, located in North Dakota, serves a small community in the agrarian Red River Valley region of the State. Built in 1957, the Science Building, housing the Chemistry Department, remains as initially constructed without any modifications. Currently dedicated research and research training facilities are unavailable for faculty and students to pursue their research interests. ARI funds, in combination with State funding, will be used to convert a small laboratory, a dark room and a chemical storage area, to dedicated research and research training space. Electrical and plumbing systems will be upgraded and the ventilation system improved to maintain the level of research activity. In order to support experiments conducted in the areas of organometallic, analytical, and physical chemistry, fume hoods and a bench, measuring the length of the room, will be installed. This renovation project is integral to the Department s efforts in delivering a quality undergraduate research program. With 62% of the student population from small rural areas in eastern North Dakota and western Minnesota, and approximately half of the students majoring in chemistry are women, this project will have a significant impact on the undergraduate research experience at Mayville State.
