Located in northwestern Pennsylvania, Allegheny College is a private liberal arts college that is one of the outstanding science colleges among the top private liberal arts institutions in the United States. For the past 75 years, Allegheny has ranked in the top five percent among liberal arts colleges in the number of its graduates going on to receive a Ph.D. in science and mathematics. To maintain this position of achievement, the College has created and implemented a science facilities' renewal plan to support research and research training activities of faculty and undergraduate students. Currently in the final phase of the plan, the institution, with support from the National Science Foundation, will renovate laboratory space for the Department of Physics in Carr Hall. The project involves the reconfiguration of existing spaces for faculty-students research areas and research training laboratories. The Physics Department is presently using space that was designed for chemistry, or for physics research as it was conducted thirty years ago, when Carr Hall was erected. It is imperative that the electrical, mechanical, temperature control, and fire protection systems be upgraded to conform to safety codes, and provide a conducive environment where modern research methodologies can be performed. With redesigned labs to support their research and collaborative work, five physics faculty members will be able to further enhance the quality and increase the quantity of research they conduct in the areas of low temperature microwave spectroscopy, nonlinear optics, atomic and nuclear physics and astronomy. The renovation of research space in Carr Hall will strengthen the Physics Department's capabilities in its efforts in preparing competent students that will positively impact upon the nation's scientific workforce.

阿勒格尼学院位于宾夕法尼亚州西北部，是一所私立文科学院，是美国顶尖私立文科院校中杰出的理科学院之一。 在过去的75年里，阿勒格尼在文科院校中排名前5%，其毕业生继续获得博士学位。在科学和数学上。 为了保持这一成就的地位，学院创建并实施了科学设施更新计划，以支持教师和本科生的研究和研究培训活动。 目前，在该计划的最后阶段，该机构在国家科学基金会的支持下，将翻新物理系在卡尔大厅的实验室空间。 该项目涉及重新配置现有空间，用于师生研究领域和研究培训实验室。 物理系目前正在使用的空间是专为化学，或为物理研究，因为它是进行三十年前，当卡尔大厅竖立。电气、机械、温度控制和消防系统必须升级，以符合安全规范，并提供一个有利于现代研究方法的环境。 通过重新设计的实验室来支持他们的研究和协作工作，五名物理学教师将能够进一步提高他们在低温微波光谱学，非线性光学，原子和核物理学以及天文学领域进行的研究的质量和数量。 在卡尔大厅的研究空间的改造将加强物理系的能力，在其努力准备合格的学生，这将对国家的科学劳动力产生积极影响。
