ARFMP: Renovation of Jacobs Science Center Chemistry and Physics Facilities

这项学术研究设施现代化计划（ARFMP）由研究设施办公室颁发，为哈维马德学院提供资金，用于翻新和维修雅各布斯科学中心，该中心是化学系和物理系研究和研究培训活动的所在地。这座建筑建于1959年，最后一次翻修是在1960年。受资方提供的1,025,000美元和1,025,090美元的ARFMP赠款将用于使这些研究和研究培训设施现代化。该项目将解决在健康和安全以及可开展的研究的质量、数量和多样性方面改善现有研究基础设施的需要。现代化将包括掏空建筑物，重组实验室，并完全重建电气，管道，安全，供暖，通风和空调（HVAC）系统。改造不仅会使能力得以保持，而且还会大大提高本已优秀的研究培训水平。该奖项为科学和工程的基础设施提供了一个更好的环境，为化学和物理系的研究提供了更好的环境，为培养高素质的本科生做出了贡献，预计化学和物理系的专业数量将大幅增加。哈维马德学院（Harvey Mudd）是一所课程设置备受推崇的理科学院，传统上该校三分之二的学士毕业生都被送往研究生院。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to Harvey Mudd College for the renovation and repair of Jacobs Science Center which houses the research and research training activities of the Departments of Chemistry and Physics. This building was constructed in 1959 and last renovated in 1960. The ARFMP grant of $1,025,000 and $1,025,090 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, quantity, and diversity of research that can be carried out. The modernization will involve gutting the building, restructuring laboratories, and completely rebuilding the electrical, plumbing, safety, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. The renovation will result not only in the ability to maintain, but also in a significant enhancement of, the already excellent level of research training. This award contributes to the infrastructure of science and engineering by providing an improved environment for the conduct of research and for the training of quality undergraduate students in the Chemistry and Physics Departments which are projected to have a large increase in the number of majors. Harvey Mudd, a science college with a highly regarded curriculum, traditionally sends two-thirds of its baccalaureates to graduate school.
