Infrastructure Renovation of Materials Science and Engineering Research Facilities

阿巴斯基安 该奖项将支持佛罗里达大学材料科学与工程系的现代化。 该部门位于莱茵大厅，该建筑建于1950年，作为物理工厂，并于1968年进行了翻新，为材料科学提供研究空间。 该改造项目的范围将：1）开发三个准洁净室; 2）开发一个炉室; 3）更换电气系统; 4）为22个房间增加一个闭环仪表冷却水系统; 5）升级空调和空气处理系统;以及6）更换一些通风柜。 该项目将使20，844平方英尺的研究和研究培训空间现代化，这将提高空间利用率，并为材料科学的几个主要研究领域提供最新的实验室，并在跨学科的研究附属机构MICROFABRITECH计划中。研究基础设施的彻底更新将对研究和研究培训的质量、数量和效率产生重大影响。 其目标是缩短基础研究和应用之间的时间延迟，促进大学与产业合作伙伴关系的发展。 该项目将影响25名教师，20多名研究和技术人员，157名研究生和120名本科生。

Abbaschian This award will support the modernization of the Materials Science and Engineering Department at the University of Florida. This department is housed in Rhines Hall, a building that was constructed in 1950 as a physical plant shop and renovated in 1968 to provide research space for materials science. The scope of this renovation project will: 1) develop three quasi-clean rooms; 2) develop a furnace room; 3) replace the electrical system; 4) add a closed-loop instrument cooling water system for 22 rooms; 5) upgrade the air conditioning and air handling systems; and 6) replace a number of fume hoods. This project will modernize 20,844 square feet of research and research training space which will enhance space utilization and provide up-to-date laboratories for several principal research areas in materials science and in an interdisciplinary research affiliate, the MICROFABRITECH Program. This thorough renovation of the research infrastructure will have its major impact on the quality, quantity and efficiency of research and research training. The goal is to shorten the time delay between fundamental research and applications, enhance the development of university-industry partnerships. This project will impact 25 faculty, more than 20 research and technical staff, 157 graduate students and 120 undergraduate students.
