Renovation of Laboratories in the Daniels and Mathews Chemistry Building University of Wisconsin-Madison

这个ARI奖，从威斯康星州的国家大量匹配的支持，将用于翻新化学系的研究实验室在麦迪逊的威斯康星州的校园。 丹尼尔斯大厦和马修斯大厦分别建于29年和33年前，其特定楼层将进行翻新。 现代实验化学实践的标准在30年来发生了巨大变化，因为该部门的设施在威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的建设。 现有的研究空间缺乏足够的通风，用于合成化学，化学品储存和大型仪器空间，以及分析和物理化学的适当基础设施。 目前的空间配置效率不高，无法提供安全的工作环境。 翻修将包括：安装通风橱和蒸馏室，改进通风的化学品储存区，增加安全措施，为小型仪器设备建立设施，并为主要设备安装冷水冷却回路。 该项目将为化学，合成化学，高分子化学以及表面和界面化学的生物相关领域的课程提供精心设计和现代化的空间。 目前分散在整个建筑物内的研究小组的聚集将促进智力互动，加强对共享仪器的访问，并改善危险材料的安全处理。 威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的化学系在研究生培训和研究方面都保持着卓越的卓越计划，并且在几十年的时间里一直这样做。 这一翻修项目大大提高了新闻部在今后几年继续达到这一卓越水平的能力。

This ARI award, with substantial matching support from the State of Wisconsin, will be used to renovate research laboratories for the Chemistry Department on the campus of the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Specific floors of the Daniels and Mathews Buildings, constructed 29 and 33 years ago respectively, are targeted for renovation. Standards for the practice of modern experimental chemistry have changed dramatically in the 30 years since the construction of the department's facilities at UW-Madison. Existing research space lacks adequate ventilation for synthetic chemistry, chemical storage, and large instrumentation spaces with appropriate infrastructure for analytical and physical chemistry. Current space is inefficiently configured for a safe working environment. Renovations will include: installing fume hoods and distillation enclosures, upgrading ventilated chemical storage areas, increasing safety measures, creating facilities for small instrumentation, and installing a chilled water cooling loop for major equipment. This project will provide well designed and modern space for programs in biologically related fields of chemistry, synthetic chemistry, polymer chemistry, and in the chemistry of surfaces and interfaces. Clustering of research groups, currently dispersed throughout the building, will facilitate intellectual interactions, enhance access to shared instrumentation, and improve the safe handling of hazardous materials. UW-Madison's Chemistry Department maintains distinguished programs of excellence in both graduate student training and research and has done so consistently over a period of many decades. This renovation project dramatically enhances the Department's ability to continue to achieve this level of excellence in future years.
