ARFMP: Renovation of Chemistry 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)奖为北达科他州州立大学提供资金，用于翻新和维修两座毗邻的建筑--莱德大厅和邓巴实验室，这两座建筑是该机构开展化学研究和研究培训活动的场所。这些建筑分别建于1913年和1963年，最后一次翻修是在1979年。受赠方提供的600,000美元和600,000美元赠款作为费用分摊，将用于使这些研究和研究培训设施现代化，并通过将相关研究实验室设在彼此很近的地方来促进更大的互动。该项目将解决改善现有研究基础设施的需要，提供升级的供暖、通风和空调系统，并修复地下室研究和研究培训空间，以容纳两个激光实验室。该奖项通过为开展研究和培养高质量的本科生和研究生提供一个更好的环境，为科学的基础设施做出贡献。在这些实验室接受培训的学生受益于在持续不断的生产项目中接受的教育，包括北达科他州立大学在聚合物和涂料方面的独特项目。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to North Dakota State University for the renovation and repair of two adjoining buildings, Ladd Hall and Dunbar Laboratories, which house that institution's chemical research and research training activities. These buildings were constructed, respectively, in 1913 and 1963, and last renovated in 1979. The ARFMP grant of $600,000 and $600,000 provided by the grantee as cost sharing will be used to modernize these research and research training facilities and to foster greater interactions by locating related research laboratories in close proximity to one another. This project will address the need to improve the current research infrastructure by providing an upgraded heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system and by rehabilitating basement research and research training space to accomodamodate two laser laboratories. 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. Students trained in these laboratories have the benefit of having been educated in consistently productive programs, including the North Dakota State University's unique program in polymers and coatings.
