Delaware State University (DSU), a Historically Black College and University, is the recipient of ARI funds to revitalize and consolidate science laboratories in the old Science Center. Constructed in 1964, the facility houses the Departments of Chemistry and Physics, but is inadequate to support research and training activities. Limitations include: poorly designed lab spaces, insufficient power and gas supplies, an aged HVAC system and dilapidated cabinetry and fixtures. Due to outdated facilities, specimen preparation for SEM work is performed at other institutions. Renovations to targeted laboratories will encompass: consolidating research space, upgrading HVAC, plumbing and electrical systems, and installing new fume hoods. Upon completion laboratories will comply with ADA and life safety codes. The renovations are essential to the growth of the departments and will enhance research and training capabilities of undergraduate and graduate students. The project will be instrumental in facilitating interdisciplinary research and establishing collaborations between DSU the and other institutions. Because of the University's historical mission, many African American scholars will enter the pipeline contributing to the nation's scientific infrastructure.

特拉华州州立大学（DSU）是一所历史悠久的黑人学院和大学，是ARI基金的接受者，用于振兴和巩固旧科学中心的科学实验室。 该设施建于1964年，设有化学和物理系，但不足以支持研究和培训活动。 局限性包括：实验室空间设计不良、电力和天然气供应不足、暖通空调系统老化以及橱柜和固定装置破旧。 由于设备陈旧，SEM工作的样品制备在其他机构进行。对目标实验室的改造将包括：巩固研究空间，升级暖通空调，管道和电气系统，并安装新的通风柜。 完成后，实验室将符合ADA和生命安全规范。这些翻新对各部门的发展至关重要，并将提高本科生和研究生的研究和培训能力。该项目将有助于促进跨学科研究和建立DSU与其他机构之间的合作。 由于该大学的历史使命，许多非洲裔美国学者将进入管道，为国家的科学基础设施作出贡献。
