Moody Scientific Research Lab Renovation: The upgrade of Moody 202

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案(公法111-5)资助的。该项目将翻新建于1968年的穆迪科学大楼的实验室空间。虽然穆迪在2001年进行了改造，但有问题的空间并未升级。这项要求是为新的研究长椅提供架空储物和内置办公桌，更换两个引擎盖，长凳上方的模块化通风，洗眼台，以及专用的仪器空间。此外，还将升级或安装以太网、真空和氮气管道以及电气等基础设施。化学品仓库将被移到一个专用的狭小空间，出入受到限制。这些升级不仅将加强研究基础设施，还将确保能够建立处理和储存化学品的安全实验室做法。这项研究的三名成员都具有行业背景，并在有机、分析和材料化学领域进行研究。此次改造将改善教职员工和本科生的研究空间，并扩大可以随时进行研究的本科生人数。施莱纳大学的学生来自德克萨斯州的农村人口，其中拉美裔占很大比例。参与本科生科学研究的学生中，超过50%是女性。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This project will renovate laboratory space in the Moody Science Building, which was built in 1968. While Moody was remodeled in 2001, the space in question was not upgraded. The request is for new research benches with overhead storage and built-in desks, two hood replacements, modular ventilation above the benches, eye-wash stations, and dedicated instrumentation space. In addition, infrastructure such as Ethernet, vacuum and nitrogen gas lines and electrical will be upgraded or installed. Chemical storage will be moved to a small dedicated space with restricted access. These upgrades will not only enhance research infrastructure, but also ensure that safe laboratory practices for handling and storing of chemicals can be established.The three members of this research all have industry background and conduct research in the areas of organic, analytical and materials chemistry. The renovation will improve research space for faculty and undergraduate students, and expand the number of undergraduate students who can conduct research at any given time. Schreiner University draws from a rural population in Texas with a large proportion of Hispanics. Over 50% of the students involved in undergraduate science research are female.
