Russell Sage College, founded in 1916, was commissioned by its founder to prepare women with a solid education in the humanities, arts and sciences. In adhering to this charge, the Biology Department has continued to make major contributions to science through its recruitment efforts and undergraduate preparation of women scientists. The department's success, however, is in jeopardy due to inadequate facilities in Science Hall, a 30 year old structure that has never been renovated. The building is not conducive for research and research training activities, currently being pursed in the areas of environmental studies, genetics, cell biology and physiology. Space originally designed for non-research purposes have been converted to research space. With NSF support, the College will reorganize research space in a centralized area to alleviate problems associated with the dual usage of space. Renovations will primarily consist of: providing dedicated spaces for two research laboratories, a herbarium, an instrumentation room, and a prep area for chemical and glassware processing. Consolidation of research activities in dedicated laboratories will provide more efficient space for faculty and student researchers, and adequate space for instrumentation, assuring research spaces are made fully accessible to physically challenged persons. Once completed, the renovated science facility will not only provide modern research and research training space for seven faculty members and students, but will invigorate the department in the historic and important mission of Russell Sage College in the changed environment of a new century.

拉塞尔·塞奇学院 (Russell Sage College) 成立于 1916 年，受其创始人委托，为女性提供扎实的人文、艺术和科学教育。 秉承这一使命，生物系通过其招募工作和女科学家的本科培养工作，继续为科学做出重大贡献。然而，由于科学馆的设施不足，该部门的成功受到威胁，科学馆是一栋已有 30 年历史且从未翻新过的建筑。 该建筑不利于目前环境研究、遗传学、细胞生物学和生理学领域的研究和研究培训活动。 最初设计用于非研究目的的空间已转变为研究空间。在国家科学基金会的支持下，学院将在一个集中区域重新组织研究空间，以缓解与空间双重使用相关的问题。翻新工程主要包括：为两个研究实验室、一个植物标本室、一个仪器室以及一个用于化学和玻璃器皿加工的准备区提供专用空间。 在专用实验室整合研究活动将为教师和学生研究人员提供更有效的空间，以及充足的仪器空间，确保残障人士可以充分利用研究空间。 改造后的科学设施不仅将为七名教职员工和学生提供现代化的研究和研究培训空间，而且将在新世纪变化的环境中为罗素·塞奇学院的历史和重要使命赋予院系新的活力。
