Renovation of Science Hall

奥尔布赖特学院寻求支持，以改善在默纳-菲佛科学大厅服务研究的公用事业系统。需要环境控制的研究活动的出现使大楼的电力系统负担过重。现有配电系统的容量和可靠性都不能适应现代科学的需要。适当的温度和湿度控制设备将安装在实验室，仪器室，教师/学生的研究和研究培训区。将安装最先进的电子能源管理系统，并与现有系统集成，并将在建筑物的屋顶和阁楼上增加绝缘材料。步入式制冷设施将得到升级。现有的升降机将改装为乘客升降机，方便残障人士进出。提供适当的配电系统将允许继续安装和使用新的仪器，并进行适当的环境控制。将安装空调，为设备和研究人员提供适当的环境。将为大二和大三学生提供暑期研究机会，并为教师提供在职培训和特殊的暑期模块，以激发高中生对自然科学的兴趣。

Albright College seeks support to improve the utility systems serving research in the Merner- Pfeiffer Hall of Science. The advent of research activities requiring environmental controls has overtaxed the electrical system of the building. Neither the capacity nor the reliability of the existing electrical distribution system is commensurate with the needs of modern science. Appropriate temperature and humidity control equipment will be installed in laboratories, instrumentation rooms, faculty/student research and research training areas. A state-of-the-art electronic energy management system will be installed and integrated with existing systems, and insulation will be added to the roof and attic of the building. Walk-in refrigeration facilities will be upgraded. An existing dumbwaiter will be converted to a passenger elevator to provide handicapped access. The provision of an adequate electrical distribution system will permit the continued installation and use of new instrumentation, with appropriate environmental controls. Air conditioning will be installed to provide an appropriate environment for equipment and researchers. Summer research opportunities for sophomores and juniors will be offered as well as provision of in-service training for teachers and special summer modules to stimulate interest among high school students in the natural sciences.
