Renovation of Student/Faculty Research Spaces at Centre College

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏和再投资法案》(公法111-5)提供资金的。该奖项支持一个翻新项目，为肯塔基州中心学院的合成化学、心理学和心理生物学的学生/教员研究空间提供基础设施改善。翻修工程将位于杨厅，这是一座56,000平方英尺的建筑，里面有生物学、生物化学和分子生物学、心理学、心理生物学和合成化学课程。翻新将包括3983平方英尺的研究空间：一个合成化学项目实验室，八个心理学和心理生物学实验室，以及一套六个学生研究空间。这项提议是中心增加专门研究空间和加强教员在科学学科方面研究的更大倡议的一部分，建设(目前正在进行中的)杨大厅40,000平方英尺的扩建将包括教学和研究空间就是明证。该奖项拟翻修的空间建造于1970年。拟议的翻修包括通风柜、橱柜、搁板、门和其他物品，并将使旧区达到现代研究标准。翻修将支持学生/教师合作研究通过使用良性溶剂减少污染物，研究注意力障碍和矫正技术，以及研究预审陪审团偏见和变更地点请愿书。中央学院的学生来自不同的经济背景，该机构越来越多的学生来自代表不足的种族群体。该设施将改善本科生的研究机会。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). This award supports a renovation project to provide infrastructure improvements to student/faculty research spaces in synthetic chemistry, psychology, and psychobiology, at Centre College of Kentucky. The renovation will be located in Young Hall, a 56,000-square-foot building housing the biology, biochemistry and molecular biology, psychology, psychobiology, and synthetic chemistry programs. The renovation will consist of 3,983 square feet of research space: a lab for the synthetic chemistry program, eight labs for psychology and psychobiology, and a suite of six student research spaces. This proposal is part of a larger initiative at Centre to increase dedicated research space and to enhance faculty research in scientific disciplines, as evidenced by the construction (now underway) of a 40,000-square-foot addition to Young Hall that will include both teaching and research spaces. The space to be renovated by this award was constructed in 1970. The proposed renovations consist of fume hoods, cabinetry, shelving, doors, and other items, and will bring the older areas up to modern research standards.The renovation will support collaborative student/faculty research on the reduction of pollutants via the use of benign solvents, research on attentional disorders and corrective techniques, and research on pre-trial jury bias and change-of-venue petitions. Centre College's students come from a variety of economic backgrounds, and the institution has a growing number of students from underrepresented ethnic groups. The facility will improve research opportunities for undergraduate students.
