ARFMP: Renovation of Chemistry Research Facilities

这项学术研究设施现代化计划（ARFMP）由研究设施办公室颁发，为田纳西大学诺克斯维尔分校提供资金，用于修复和翻新中达布尼大厅，该大厅是该机构化学系研究和研究培训活动的主要场所。这座建筑建于1954年，从那时起就没有翻修过。由受资方提供的170万美元和491万美元的ARFMP赠款将用于使这些研究和研究培训设施现代化。该项目将满足改善现有研究基础设施的需求，包括提高其安全性，提高研究的数量和质量，可以通过升级加热、通风和空调（HVAC）系统以及安装通风柜、溶剂柜、和生活环境调查。该奖项为科学基础设施做出了贡献，通过科学联盟和国家科学基金会的暑期研究项目，为来自其他机构的本科生的研究和培训提供了更好的环境，也为田纳西大学自己的本科生和研究生的培训提供了环境。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to the University of Tennessee at Knoxville for the repair and renovation of Middle Dabney Hall which houses a major proportion of the research and research training activities of that institution's Chemistry Department. This building was constructed in 1954 and has not been renovated since that time. The ARFMP grant of $1,700,000 and $4,910,000 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 both in terms of increasing its safety and of increasing the quantity and quality of research that can be conducted by upgrading the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system and by installing fume hoods, solvent cabinets, and casework. This award contributes to the infrastructure of science by providing an improved environment for the conduct of research and for the training of undergraduates from other institutions through the Science Alliance and National Science Foundation summer research programs as well as for the training of the University of Tennessee's own undergraduate and graduate students.
