This award provides support for the renovation of research space in the Chemistry Building at the University of Iowa. Laboratories located on the 5th floor of the southeast wing of the building, that were constructed in 1922, will be renovated for students and four productive faculty members who have established national and international reputations for excellence and innovation in synthetic chemical research. Existing laboratories lack the essential infrastructure required to conduct modern chemistry. There is currently no provision for ventilation, central air-conditioning, or make-up air in any of the rooms. All have poor lighting, and cannot house any research operation that involves extensive use of volatile materials or any potentially toxic gases. Targeted research space is devoid of the appropriate laboratory benches, sinks, fume hoods, electrical service, and HVAC facilities. Moreover, the crowded conditions under which these groups operate include numerous potential serious safety hazards to research personnel. This project will correct these deficiencies and make unsuitable space into a safe and conducive research environment. Improvements will allow these scientists to expand their research operations, and facilitate the accommodation of visiting scientists from industry and academic institutions in the US and abroad. The upgraded facility will contribute to the research and educational goals of the University of Iowa by assisting the institution in its efforts to recruit future faculty hires.

该奖项为爱荷华州大学化学楼的研究空间翻新提供支持。 实验室位于大楼东南翼的五楼，建于1922年，将为学生和四名富有成效的教职员工进行翻新，他们在合成化学研究方面的卓越和创新在国内和国际上享有盛誉。现有的实验室缺乏进行现代化学所需的基本基础设施。 目前没有任何房间提供通风、中央空调或补充空气。 所有这些地方的照明都很差，不能容纳任何涉及大量使用挥发性材料或任何潜在有毒气体的研究活动。 目标研究空间缺乏适当的实验室工作台、水槽、通风柜、电气服务和HVAC设施。此外，这些团体工作的拥挤条件对研究人员构成许多潜在的严重安全危险。 该项目将纠正这些不足之处，并使不合适的空间成为一个安全和有利的研究环境。 这些改进将使这些科学家能够扩大他们的研究业务，并为来自美国和国外的工业和学术机构的访问科学家提供便利。 升级后的设施将有助于爱荷华州大学的研究和教育目标，协助该机构在其努力招聘未来的教师雇用。
