ARFMP: Renovation/Repair of Culler Hall Physics Research Facilities

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)奖为牛津大学迈阿密大学提供资金，用于翻新和维修卡勒大厅，该大厅是物理系原子-分子-光学和凝聚态物质-磁学研究和研究培训活动的所在地。这座建筑建于1960年，此后一直没有翻修过。受赠人提供的725,000美元和964,471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研究质量和数量方面改善现有研究基础设施的需要，这些研究可以通过提供足够的电力、供暖、通风和空调(HVAC)和照明以及通过重新配置空间以更有效地使用来进行。翻新将同时创造一个灵活的研究设施，其细分的空间很容易适应不断变化的条件和研究兴趣。该奖项为科学基础设施提供了一个更好的环境，为开展研究和在一个致力于学生参与研究培训活动的物理系培养高质量的本科生和硕士学生提供了更好的环境。这一翻修将增加一个因其质量而获奖的项目可以容纳的学生数量。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to Miami University at Oxford for the renovation and repair of Culler Hall which houses the atomic-molecular-optical and the condensed matter-magnetics research and research training activities of the Physics Department. This building was constructed in 1960 and has not been renovated since that time. The ARFMP grant of $725,000 and $964,471 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 the quality and quantity of research that can be conducted by providing adequate power, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), and lighting and by reconfiguring the space for more efficient use. The renovation will at the same time create a flexible research facility with a subdivision of space easily adaptable to changing conditions and research interests. 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 and master's degree students in a Physics department with a strong commitment to student involvement in research training activities. This renovation will increase the number of students who can be accommodated in a program which has won awards for its quality.
