Renovation of the Searles Science Building Research Facilities

鲍登学院寻求翻新瑟尔斯科学大楼内的研究设施。这些翻修将使研究实验室和研究支助空间现代化和升级，以提供更有效的空间利用，并达到健康和安全标准。初步翻修项目包括：拆除石棉、安装通风系统、提供新的照明和扩大电力服务、更换9个教研室及其相关支助设施的工作台和橱柜。此外，还将改建两个房间--一个是生物设备支撑室，另一个是洁净室，用于支持物理设备制造和家庭设备。它们目前作为动物收容所的用途将被重新安置，并合并为一个翻新的日光浴室。通用生物学研究空间将进行重大改造和升级，以容纳越来越多的独立和荣誉研究型学生。除了三楼的日光浴室外，所有这些研究场所也将向残疾人开放。这项翻修满足了学院的一项优先基本建设需求，补充了目前正在大楼内进行的其他工作，即其他教学空间的翻新。

Bowdin College seeks to renovate research facilities within the Searles Science Building. These renovations will modernize and upgrade research laboratories and research support spaces to provide more efficient space utilization and to meet health and safety standards. The primary renovation projects include: removal of asbestos, installation of ventilation systems, provision of new lighting and expanded electrical service, and replacement of bench tops and casework in nine faculty research laboratories and their associated support facilities. In addition, two rooms will be converted -- one for a biology equipment support room and a clean room to support physics device fabrication and house equipment. Their current use as animal holding spaces will be relocated and consolidated into a renovated solarium. The general purpose biology research space will be significantly modified and upgraded to accommodate increasing numbers of independent and honors research students. All of these research spaces, except the third floor solarium, will also be made accessible to the disabled. The renovation addresses a priority capital need of the College that complements other work currently underway in the building, the renovation of other teaching spaces.
