ARI-R2: Laboratory and Ancillary Space Upgrade to Support Undergraduate Faculty-Student Research in Physics

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。该奖项支持古斯塔夫斯·阿道夫斯学院19岁的F.W.奥林科学馆低层本科生研究实验室的升级和改造。拟议的改造将影响物理系的所有成员，因为它将使每个实验室的前沿研究和研究培训成为可能，并进一步加强整个物理系的研究设施。一个新的网络声学实验室和一个新教员的研究实验室，致力于极性分子的冷却和捕获，将在提高物理系的研究能力和增加本科生的研究训练方面发挥特别重要的战略作用。研究能力的提高也将为物理、化学和通识教育的学生提供更多的研究培训机会。预期与研究型大学和其他文理学院的合作将扩大该系研究的范围和水平，同样为古斯塔夫大学的学生提供机会，为知名研究团体做出贡献并从中受益。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). The award supports the upgrade and renovation of undergraduate research laboratories on the lower level of the 19-year-old F.W. Olin Hall of Science at Gustavus Adolphus College. The proposed renovation will impact all members of the physics department in that it will both enable cutting-edge research and research training in each laboratory and further strengthen the entire physics department research facility. A new cyber-enabled acoustics laboratory and a research laboratory for a new faculty member, dedicated to the cooling and trapping of polar molecules, will play a particularly strategic role in enhancing the research capacity of the physics department and in increasing research training for undergraduate students. Enhanced research capabilities will also provide greater research training opportunities for students in physics, chemistry and general education. Anticipated collaborations with research universities and other liberal arts colleges will broaden the scope and level of the department's research, and likewise provide Gustavus students with opportunities to contribute to and benefit from well-known research groups.
