The Chemistry Department at Mississippi State University will utilize NSF support for the renovation of more than 18,000 square feet in the first phase of a three stage process to improve research and research training laboratories. This first component of an overall $11 million dollar building renovation project will benefit 115 researchers including undergraduate researchers participating in an NSF-REU site award. The NSF-supported laboratory activity will increase bench and hood space through space reconfiguration; enhance safety; and expand laboratory opportunities for the disabled. Subsequent MSU renovation work will address instructional facilities and the balance of research space within the Hand Laboratory building. The structure is 30 years old and has never been renovated; through partnership with NSF, 14 research laboratories will be impacted, and the building's HVAC system will be replaced. This initial activity will take two years and will enable Mississippi State to operate a nationally-competitive MS/Ph.D. research program with specific emphasis on chemical studies leading to the development of advanced composite materials and to the reduction of contaminants in soils. It will also be important to the department's commitment to increase minority participation in research activities within the Chemistry department.

密西西比州立大学化学系将利用 NSF 的支持，在改善研究和研究培训实验室的三阶段过程的第一阶段翻修 18,000 多平方英尺。 总价值 1100 万美元的建筑翻修项目的第一部分将使 115 名研究人员受益，其中包括参与 NSF-REU 场地奖的本科生研究人员。 NSF 支持的实验室活动将通过空间重新配置来增加工作台和通风柜空间；加强安全；并扩大残疾人的实验室机会。 密歇根州立大学后续的改造工作将解决手实验室大楼内的教学设施和研究空间的平衡问题。 该建筑已有30年历史，从未翻新过；通过与 NSF 的合作，14 个研究实验室将受到影响，大楼的 HVAC 系统将被更换。 这项初步活动将耗时两年，将使密西西比州能够运营具有全国竞争力的硕士/博士课程。研究计划特别强调化学研究，从而开发先进复合材料并减少土壤中的污染物。 这对于该系致力于增加少数族裔参与化学系内的研究活动也很重要。
