Louisiana State University at Shreveport (LSUS) is the recipient of funds for the renovation of the Science Building. Constructed in 1967, the building houses the Departments of Biological Sciences, Chemistry, and Physics. All faculty in biology are involved in research that concentrates on utilizing molecular approaches to solve systematic and other biological problems. Research interests in the biology include: genetics, cell biology, animal and plant physiology, microbiology and molecular biology. Senior faculty in the Department of Chemistry and Physics maintain research specialties in biochemistry, organic chemical ecology, radio-organic and polymer chemistry, environmental chemistry, isotopic kinetics, and computation physics. Recent additions of programs in biochemical science and environmental science, shared masters programs in molecular biology with LSU Medical Center, and a new graduate course in Environmental Science have exacerbated research and training facility needs. In conjunction, when the research facilities were designed, LSUS was only a two year institution. Renovations will encompass: the provision of adequate electrical outlets, vacuum, and water to all labs and instrument rooms, the installation of an autoclave system, and the upgrade of the air-handling system. Several new fume hoods will be installed; existing fume hoods will be modified to improve efficiency of operation and safety. The project will bring facilities into compliance with ADA requirements and State building standards. Renovations will accelerate new directions for faculty research programs as well as significantly enhance multidisciplinary, research opportunities. Renovation of the targeted facilities will insure greater capacity and safety for student research and encourage more students to consider science careers.

位于什里夫波特的路易斯安那州立大学（LSUS）是科学大楼翻新资金的接受者。 该建筑建于1967年，设有生物科学，化学和物理系。 生物学的所有教师都参与研究，专注于利用分子方法来解决系统和其他生物学问题。 生物学的研究方向包括：遗传学、细胞生物学、动植物生理学、微生物学和分子生物学。 化学和物理系的高级教师在生物化学，有机化学生态学，放射性有机和聚合物化学，环境化学，同位素动力学和计算物理学方面保持研究专长。 最近增加了生物化学科学和环境科学课程，与路易斯安那州立大学医学中心共享分子生物学硕士课程，以及环境科学新的研究生课程，加剧了研究和培训设施的需求。 在设计研究设施时，LSUS只是一个两年制的机构。 翻修将包括：为所有实验室和仪器室提供足够的电源插座、真空和水，安装高压灭菌系统，并升级空气处理系统。 将安装几个新的通风柜;将改造现有通风柜，以提高操作效率和安全性。 该项目将使设施符合ADA要求和国家建筑标准。 翻新将加速教师研究计划的新方向，并显着提高多学科，研究机会。 有针对性的设施的改造将确保学生研究的更大容量和安全性，并鼓励更多的学生考虑科学事业。
