Renovation of Chemistry Building (Salem Hall).

化学部要求提供资金，用于翻新三个研究实验室单元和一个机械室。该大学承诺斥资320万美元开始全面翻修。在完成该项目的初步阶段后，本提案侧重于最后三个需要翻新的研究单元。这三个实验室的维修状况很差。没有一个有通风柜的功能，因为原来的空气处理系统与新系统不兼容。第三个模块不适合用于X射线和固态实验室。所有四名教职员工都是围绕双方共同参与的研究的积极参与者。研究努力并不局限于研究生水平。在过去的五年里，34名本科生以合著者的身份出现在研究出版物上，50名本科生以合著者的身份出现在专业会议上的研究报告中。该部门是NSF的REU网站之一，在过去的四年里，该部门已经从NSF的两名博士前研究员、两名ACS有机部门研究员、一名罗兹学者和一名罗兹决赛选手中毕业。

The Department of Chemistry requests funds for the renovation of three research laboratory modules and a mechanical room. The University committed $3.2 million to begin a total renovation. Having completed the initial stage of the project, this proposal focuses on the final three research modules to be renovated. The three labs are in a poor state of repair. None has fume hood capabilities because the original air- handling system is imcompatable with the new system. The third module is unsuitable for an x- ray and solid state lab. All four faculty members are active participants in research built around the involvement of both. The research effort is not limited to the graduate level. Over the last five years, 34 undergraduates have appeared as co-authors on research publications and 50 have appeared as co- authors on research presentations at professional meetings. The Department is one of NSF's REU sites and in the last four years the Department has graduated two NSF Predoctoral Fellows, two ACS Organic Division Fellows, a Rhodes Scholar and a Rhodes Finalist.
