Renovation of Frick Chemical Laboratories

普林斯顿大学化学系的目标是追求最高水平的基础研究，并为本科生、研究生和研究生提供化学理论和实验基础方面的教育。在普林斯顿，化学在普林斯顿材料研究所、普林斯顿光子学和光电材料中心、普林斯顿大学的环境倡议以及与分子生物学提出的生物结构化学联合倡议等跨学科项目中发挥着不可或缺的作用。该部门正在着手一系列重大研究计划，这些计划在最初的弗里克实验室是很难实现的。该设施建于1926年，不足以支持先进的研究活动。在NSF的支持下，研究空间的全面翻新和基础设施升级将导致在经济上可以升级到现代空气处理标准的地区巩固发动机罩密集型作业。此外，还将开发用于高场核磁共振、分子建模和先进激光的共享设施空间。改造项目将具体影响物理化学和激光光谱、有机和生物有机化学、无机化学和材料化学以及生物结构化学等专业。这些改革，加上新教师的招聘，将使该系在与生物、物理、材料科学和工程相关的新兴领域提供机会，从而进入领导地位。

The goals of the Department of Chemistry at Princeton University are to pursue basic research at the highest level, and to educated undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate students in the theoretical and experimental basis for Chemistry. At Princeton, chemistry plays an integral role in interdisciplinary programs such as the Princeton Materials Institute, the Princeton Center for Photonics and Opto-Electronic Materials, the University's Environmental Initiative, and a proposed joint initiative with Molecular Biology for biostructural chemistry. The department is embarking on a series of major research initiatives, difficult to accomplish in the original Frick Laboratory. Erected in 1926, the facility is inadequate to support advanced research activities. With NSF support, a comprehensive renovation and infrastructure upgrade of research space will result in consolidating hood-intensive operations in areas that can be economically upgraded to modern air handling standards. In addition, shared facility space for high filed NMR, molecular modeling, and advanced lasers will be developed. The renovation project will specifically impact programs in Physical Chemistry and Laser Spectroscopy, Organic and Bio-organic Chemistry, Inorganic and Materials Chemistry, and Biostructural Chemistry. The renovations, in conjunction with the recruitment of new faculty, will move the Department into a leadership position by providing opportunities in emerging areas that interface with biology, physics, materials science and engineering.
