ARFMP: University of Kentucky Chemistry and Physics Research Facility Modernization Project

这项学术研究设施现代化计划（ARFMP）由研究设施办公室颁发，为肯塔基大学提供资金，用于化学-物理大楼的翻新和维修，该大楼包括化学系和物理与天文系。这座建筑建于1960年，最后一次翻修是在1988年。受资方提供的69万美元和402.5万美元的ARFMP赠款将用于使这些研究和研究培训设施现代化。该项目将通过提供符合现行规范的通风柜，确保空气处理排气系统的充分性，解决在健康和安全和研究质量方面改善现有研究基础设施的需求，并通过拆除和更换所有过渡（水泥石棉）管道工作。该奖项不仅为化学和物理研究提供了更好的环境，而且为更广泛的研究提供了更好的环境，从而为科学基础设施做出了贡献，因为这些系在肯塔基大学的各种跨学科项目中发挥着核心作用，而且该地区其他州立机构的许多教师和学生都利用了这些设施。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to the University of Kentucky for the renovation and repair of the Chemistry-Physics Building which houses the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Physics and Astronomy. This building was constructed in 1960 and last renovated in 1988. The ARFMP grant of $690,000 and $4,025,000 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 health and safety and of the quality of research that can be conducted by providing fume hoods that are in compliance with current codes, by insuring the adequacy of air-handling exhaust systems, and by removing and replacing all transite (cement asbestos) duct work. This award contributes to the infrastructure of science by providing an improved environment not only for research in chemistry and physics but also more broadly, because these departments have a central role in various interdisciplinary programs at the University of Kentucky and because a number of faculty and students from other state institutions in the area utilize these facilities.
