St. Norbert College, a liberal arts institution established in 1891, is the recipient of ARI funds to renovate John Minahan Science Hall, a 27 year old facility, to improve research space for the Division of Natural Sciences. Students engage in original research, learn to use sophisticated equipment, and author papers and present results at professional conferences. Active learning and research training in environmental science, biology, chemistry, and geology, and independent and collaborative senior thesis projects, mandate efficient use of laboratory space and the college is committed in accommodating this type of space. Existing research and research training, and support space will be reconfigured, providing greater opportunities for students to conduct research on a daily basis. Once renovations are completed, dedicated laboratory space will support research training in ichthyology, environmental chemistry and measurements, ecology, limnology and hydrology. This award will enable the Division to increase its ability to conduct quality research and research training and to attract additional faculty and students. An enhanced facility will help students appreciate and understand the scientific process. The College is committed to science education, which cannot be obtained without an integral research component. St. Norbert's goal is to continue to train scientists of the highest caliber for the 21st century.

圣诺伯特学院是一所成立于1891年的文科院校，是ARI资金的接受者，用于翻新已有27年历史的约翰·米纳汉科学馆，以改善自然科学部的研究空间。学生从事原创性研究，学习使用尖端设备，撰写论文并在专业会议上展示结果。在环境科学、生物、化学和地质学方面的积极学习和研究培训，以及独立和协作的高级论文项目，要求有效利用实验室空间，学院致力于容纳这种类型的空间。现有的研究和研究培训以及支持空间将进行重新配置，为学生提供更多的日常研究机会。一旦翻修完成，专门的实验室空间将支持鱼类学、环境化学和测量、生态学、湖沼学和水文学的研究培训。这一奖项将使该司能够提高其进行高质量研究和研究培训的能力，并吸引更多的教职员工和学生。增强的设施将帮助学生欣赏和理解科学过程。学院致力于科学教育，如果没有完整的研究部分，科学教育是无法实现的。圣诺伯特的目标是继续为21世纪培养最高素质的科学家。
