ARFMP: Renovation of Chemical Engineering Laboratories/ University of Wisconsin

这项由研究设施办公室颁发的学术研究设施现代化计划(ARFMP)奖为威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校提供资金，用于翻新和维修工程大楼两翼的设施，这些设施是化工系的研究和研究培训活动的所在地。这些机翼分别于1953年和1962年建造，此后没有进行过重大翻修。受赠人提供的600,000美元和950,620美元的ARFMP赠款作为费用分摊，将用于使这些研究和研究培训设施现代化。该项目将解决在健康和安全以及可通过升级通风柜/通风系统进行的研究的质量、数量和多样性方面改善现有研究基础设施的需要。这一翻修对于许可继续使用放射性材料至关重要，这些放射性材料涉及在化学工程实验室进行的大量化学研究。该奖项通过为开展研究和培养高质量的本科生和研究生提供更好的环境，为科学和工程基础设施做出贡献。威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的化学工程系是该学科世界上最重要的专业之一，也是美国化学工程师的重要来源之一。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to the University of Wisconsin Madison for the renovation and repair of facilities in two wings of the Engineering Building which house the research and research training activities of the Department of Chemical Engineering. These wings were constructed in 1953 and 1962 and no major renovations have since been carried out. The ARFMP grant of $600,000 and $950,620 provided by the grantee as cost sharing will be used to modernize these research and research training facilities. This project will address the need to improve the current research infrastructure in terms of health and safety as well as of quality, quantity, and diversity of research that can be performed by upgrading the fume hood/ventilation system. This renovation is essential to licensing that will permit the continued use of radioactive materials which are involved in a great deal of the chemical research conducted in the Chemical Engineering laboratories. This award contributes to the infrastructure of science and engineering by providing an improved environment for the conduct of research and for the training of quality undergraduate and graduate students. The Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin Madison is one of the world's foremost programs in this discipline, and it is one of the important producers of the nation's chemical engineers.
