This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). This project involves the renovation of sections of the Graduate Physics Research Center (GPRC), a 7,000 sq ft building used for physics research and research training. The renovated facility will be used for research in particle physics and optics, including laser crystal development, and the study of the optical properties of nanoscale materials. The research in high-energy physics will include analyses of data from the ATLAS detector that forms part of the Large Hadron Collider experiment, and from the MINERvA neutrino scattering experiment at Fermilab.In addition to providing infrastructure for faculty research, the renovated labs will provide infrastructure for research training of undergraduates and graduate students from a student body that is predominantly composed of members groups that are under-represented in science and engineering. A better facility will be more conducive to attracting students to modern research. The renovated laboratories will also be used to provide research experiences for undergraduates from other institutions (through a Research Experiences for Undergraduates program) and for school-teachers (through Hampton University?s Research Experiences for Teachers program).

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。该项目涉及研究生物理研究中心（GPRC）的部分翻新，这是一个用于物理研究和研究培训的7000平方英尺的建筑。改造后的设施将用于粒子物理和光学的研究，包括激光晶体的开发，以及纳米材料的光学特性的研究。高能物理的研究将包括对ATLAS探测器（大型强子对撞机实验的一部分）和Fermilab MINERvA中微子散射实验的数据进行分析。除了为教师研究提供基础设施外，改造后的实验室还将为本科生和研究生的研究培训提供基础设施，这些学生主要由在科学和工程领域代表性不足的成员群体组成。更好的设施将更有利于吸引学生从事现代研究。翻新后的实验室还将用于为来自其他机构的本科生（通过本科生研究经验项目）和学校教师(通过汉普顿大学？（“教师研究经验”项目）。
