Cell Biology Research Improvements and Renovations

描述(由申请人提供)：这是一份149.544.44亿美元的翻修资金申请，用于在一座新建的生物医学研究大楼内完成63,397平方英尺的外壳空间。该项目将完成目前被称为第五期研究大楼的三层楼。新大楼位于德克萨斯大学西南医学中心(UT Southwest)北校区。三层楼将容纳细胞生物系的教员，他们目前占据了南校区的空间。这些楼层的建成将为教职员工提供最先进的研究设施，并使他们能够更接近以前在南校区的教职员工，现在占用北校区的实验室。细胞生物学系目前分布在南校区的三栋不同建筑中，这将把他们重新安置到一栋建筑中。此外，新的空间将允许扩大教职人员，这是目前的限制所不能提供的。此外，细胞生物学学院目前的位置与对他们的研究至关重要的成像设施是分开的。翻修的目标是提供更好的研究空间，适合现代细胞生物学研究，这将促进细胞生物学教员和他们现在北校区的合作者之间的互动。具体目标是优化新的空间，按照共同的研究兴趣组织实验室，扩大核心空间，最大限度地利用成像设备空间，并为招聘新的教员、受训人员和工作人员提供空间。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a request for $14,954,444 million dollars in renovation funds to complete 63,397 square feet of shell space in a newly constructed biomedical research building. The project will complete three floors of what is currently termed the Phase V research building. The new building is located on the North Campus of The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UT southwestern). The three floors will house the Department of Cell Biology faculty who currently occupy space on the South Campus. Completion of these floors will provide a state of the art research facility for the faculty as well as allow them to work closer to faculty previously on the South Campus that now occupy laboratories on the North Campus. The Cell Biology faculty are currently spread across three different buildings on the South Campus and this would relocate them into a single building. In addition, the new space will allow expansion of the faculty which current constraints do not provide. Further, the current location of the Cell Biology faculty is separated from the imaging facilities which are essential to their research. The goal of the renovation is to provide improved research space suitable for modern cell biology research that will facilitate interactions between the faculty members of cell biology and their collaborators now on the North Campus. Specific goals are to optimize the new space, organize laboratories by common research interests, expand core space, maximize access to the imaging equipment space and provide space for the recruitment of new faculty, trainees and staff.
