Trinity University and the National Science Foundation will jointly support the renovation of facilities devoted to Laser Spectroscopy, Atmospheric Chemistry, and Capillary Electrophoresis and Chromatography in the Marrs McLean Science Center. The renovation will substantially upgrade the current facilities, built in 1953 and 1959, to meet the challenges of contemporary science. The NSF-funded effort will be part of an estimated $5 Million renovation of the entire science center undertaken by the institution. All three laboratory spaces will be completely renovated including demolition of existing non-bearing walls, provision of new electrical ground and filtered electrical power lines, installation of new HVAC and back-up air conditioners for essential climate control, installation of computer network and telephone ports, shielding from elecro-magnetic interference (Laser Spectroscopy Lab), a new fume hood, deionized water system and vacuum system (Atmospheric Chemistry Lab), and a new fume hood and vacuum, compressed air and natural gas lines (Capillary Electrophoresis and Chromatography Lab). The renovation will also permit the re-design of laboratory bench space for increased efficiency in research operations. The completed effort will encourage student discovery of contemporary science and assure a much safer and efficient environment in which to work. It will facilitate new experiments which have not been conducted previously at Trinity. Trinity is highly ranked nationally on its programs in undergraduate science, mathematics and engineering education. It seeks to include geographic distribution of students and to include under-represented minorities and women who constitute in excess of 10% and 44% respectively in these programs.

三一大学和国家科学基金会将共同支持马尔斯麦克莱恩科学中心激光光谱、大气化学、毛细管电泳和色谱设施的翻新。 此次翻修将对建于 1953 年和 1959 年的现有设施进行大幅升级，以应对当代科学的挑战。 NSF 资助的工作将是该机构耗资 500 万美元对整个科学中心进行翻修的一部分。 所有三个实验室空间都将进行彻底翻新，包括拆除现有的非承重墙，提供新的电气接地和过滤电源线，安装新的暖通空调和备用空调以进行基本的气候控制，安装计算机网络和电话端口，屏蔽电磁干扰（激光光谱实验室），新的通风柜，去离子水系统和真空系统（大气化学实验室），以及一个新的通风柜，去离子水系统和真空系统（大气化学实验室）。 通风柜和真空、压缩空气和天然气管线（毛细管电泳和色谱实验室）。 此次改造还将允许重新设计实验室工作台空间，以提高研究操作的效率。 完成的工作将鼓励学生发现当代科学，并确保一个更安全、更高效的工作环境。 它将促进三一学院以前未进行过的新实验。 圣三一学院的本科科学、数学和工程教育项目在全国排名靠前。 它力求将学生的地理分布纳入其中，并将代表性不足的少数族裔和女性纳入其中，她们在这些项目中所占比例分别超过 10% 和 44%。
