*** 9415084 Addison Central Arkansas University (CAU) is the recipient of funds from the Academic Research Infrastructure Program for the renovation of research and research training space in the Lewis Science Center. CAU, formerly a teaching college, is an undergraduate institution, that became a statewide university in 1975. In recognition of the importance of research, the administration has increased its emphasis on research by providing resources for the renovation of the science center. One of the major limitations to student involvement in scientific pursuits has been the lack of available space. Laboratories vacated by the Chemistry Department will be renovated, providing space to accommodate additional students in research training programs in Biology and Physics. ARI funds will be used to reconfigure space and equip laboratories with fixed equipment including fume hoods, sinks, safety showers, cabinets and benches. The renovation will provide the science facility with growth chambers, a tissue culture room, a radioisotope laboratory, a photographic and an experimental dark room and an acoustic laboratory. The isotope laboratory and radiation materials vault will be upgraded to provide an isolated room for a neutron howitzer and a vacuum sputtering device. Provisions will be made to furnish research training space for nuclear and atomic physics. The electron microscope laboratory will be renovated to provide access independent of an accelerator and for a clean operating environment. The modernization of the Lewis Science Center will have a marked effect on the quality and amount of Biological and Physical research that will be enabled by the renovation. Not only will students become attracted to the programs, but the newly renovated space will aid in the recruitment of new research oriented faculty at CAU. ***

* 9415084艾迪生 中央阿肯色州大学（CAU）是学术研究基础设施计划的资金接受者，用于改造刘易斯科学中心的研究和研究培训空间。 CAU前身为教学学院，是一所本科院校，1975年成为全州大学。 由于认识到研究的重要性，行政部门通过为科学中心的翻新提供资源，加强了对研究的重视。 学生参与科学研究的主要限制之一是缺乏可用的空间。 由化学系腾出的实验室将进行翻新，提供空间，以容纳更多的学生在生物学和物理学的研究培训计划。 ARI资金将用于重新配置空间并为实验室配备固定设备，包括通风柜、水槽、安全淋浴、橱柜和长凳。 翻修将为科学设施提供生长室、一个组织培养室、一个放射性同位素实验室、一个摄影和实验暗室以及一个声学实验室。 同位素实验室和辐射材料库将升级，为中子榴弹炮和真空溅射装置提供一个隔离室。 将作出规定，为核物理和原子物理提供研究培训空间。 电子显微镜实验室将进行翻修，以提供独立于加速器的通道和清洁的操作环境。刘易斯科学中心的现代化将对生物和物理研究的质量和数量产生显着影响，这将通过翻新实现。 不仅学生会被吸引到节目，但新装修的空间将有助于在CAU新的研究型教师的招聘。 ***
