Benack Union College is a private liberal arts college known for the strengths of its science programs and its incorporation of engineering into a traditional liberal arts curriculum. The Psychology Department is one of the largest and strongest departments on campus. Currently the department is located in the North Colonnade, a 177 year old structure that was last renovated in 1945. Research space in this building is grossly inadequate to support the department's research activities. Space is small, poorly designed for experimental work and in a state of extreme deterioration. Electrical and heating systems are antiquated, making it impossible for equipment to function properly. Faculty have been forced to abandon some research areas to conduct many research projects in classrooms and offices not suited for these activities. To correct this situation, the college will relocated the department to Bailey Hall, providing much needed space and first-class laboratory facilities. This award will provide funding for the replacement of 2216 nsf of research and research training space in Bailey Hall currently occupied by the psychology department in North Colonnade. Space will be configured to support research activities and will be made to meet code and access requirements. Five laboratories will be modernized to form the center of a more vigorous and diverse program of research activities for both faculty and students. With the provision of dedicated space for data collection with multiple subjects, research will be able to proceed more efficiently. Most importantly the relocation will place the department in proximity to the other sciences, promoting the development of interdisciplinary work, the sharing of facilities, more efficient use of computer facilities, and joint supervision of student with interdepartmental majors.

贝纳克 联合学院是一所私立文理学院，以其科学课程的优势以及将工程纳入传统文科课程而闻名。 心理学系是校园内最大和最强的部门之一。 目前，该部门位于北柱廊，一个177岁的结构，最后一次翻修是在1945年。 这座大楼里的研究空间严重不足，无法支持系里的研究活动。 空间很小，设计不适合实验工作，而且处于极端恶化的状态。 电力和供暖系统陈旧，使设备无法正常工作。 教师被迫放弃一些研究领域，在不适合这些活动的教室和办公室进行许多研究项目。 为了纠正这种情况，学院将部门搬迁到贝利大厅，提供急需的空间和一流的实验室设施。 该奖项将提供资金，用于更换目前由北柱廊心理学系占用的贝利大厅2216 nsf的研究和研究培训空间。 空间将配置为支持研究活动，并将符合代码和访问要求。 五个实验室将进行现代化改造，为教师和学生提供更有活力和多样化的研究活动计划。 通过提供专用空间收集多个受试者的数据，研究将能够更有效地进行。 最重要的是，搬迁将使该部门靠近其他科学，促进跨学科工作的发展，共享设施，更有效地利用计算机设施，并与跨部门专业的学生联合监督。
