ARFMP: Upgrade of Cogswell Chemistry Laboratory Air Handling Systems

这项学术研究设施现代化计划（ARFMP）由研究设施办公室颁发，为伦斯勒理工学院提供资金，用于翻新和维修科格斯韦尔实验室，该实验室是化学系研究和研究培训活动的所在地。这座建筑建于1970年，从那时起就没有翻修过。受资方提供的60万美元和490万美元的ARFMP赠款将用于使这些研究和研究培训设施现代化。该项目将通过升级空气处理系统和增加通风柜容量来解决改善当前研究基础设施的需求。预计此次改造将增加研究项目的规模、生产力和质量，并符合现代健康和安全标准。该奖项通过为进行研究和培养优质本科生和研究生提供更好的环境，为科学基础设施做出了贡献。伦萨勒理工学院化学系具有很强的基础研究能力，同时也具有很强的应用意识。因此，在这些实验室训练的学生在基础研究和应用研究领域都很有需求。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute for the renovation and repair of Cogswell Laboratory which houses the research and research training activities of the Department of Chemistry. This building was constructed in 1970 and has not been renovated since that time. The ARFMP grant of $600,000 and $4,900,000 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 by upgrading the air-handling system and increasing the hood capacity. An increase in the size, productivity, and quality of the research program and compliance with modern health and safety standards are changes expected to accrue from this renovation. 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 graduate students. Renssalaer Polytechnic Institute has a Chemistry Department which has strength in fundamental research and yet at the same time is also highly applications-conscious. Thus the students trained in these laboratories are in demand in both basic and applied research fields.
