ARFMP: Replacement of Chemistry Research and Research Training Laboratories

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)奖为里德学院提供资金，用于更换化学系的研究和研究培训活动所在的化学大楼。这座建筑建于第二次世界大战期间，自那时以来一直没有翻修过。它的替代是完全有理由的，而且具有成本效益。受赠人提供的816,000美元和1,149,525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。该项目将解决改善现有研究基础设施的需要，方法是为升级后的空间的建造提供支持，以取代旧设施，并安装足够的电力和供暖、通风和空调系统以及通风柜。该奖项为科学基础设施的建设提供了一个更好的环境，有助于在文理学院开展研究和培养高质量的本科生，该学院以其毕业生继续获得理科博士学位的比例高而闻名。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to Reed College for the replacement of the Chemistry Building which houses the research and research training activities of the Chemistry Department. This building was constructed during World War II and has not been renovated since that time. Its replacement is fully justified and cost-effective. The ARFMP grant of $816,000 and $1,149,525 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 by providing support for that portion of the construction of an upgraded space which represents replacement of the old facility, complete with the installation of adequate electrical and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and fume hoods. This award contributes to the infrastructure of science by providing an improved environment for the conduct of research and for the training of quality undergraduate students in a liberal arts college well known for the high percentage of its graduates who go on to receive doctoral degrees in the sciences.
