Renovation of Selected Biology, Chemistry and Physics Research Laboratories

凯尔：授予代顿大学的资金将用于翻新已有35年历史的谢尔曼和沃莱本大厅内4800平方英尺的生物、化学和物理研究空间。这些设施的基础设施，特别是暖通空调、引擎盖、管道和电气系统不能令人满意，在范围和严谨性方面都影响了进行必要实验的能力。此外，实验室的现状阻碍了学生参与研究。四名教员和二十多名学生将直接受益于基础设施的改善；研究植物新陈代谢调节、DNA分子的化学反应、陶瓷材料的生物应用和电光的研究项目将得到加强。随着有机会在现代实验室工作，预计学生对科学的兴趣和对研究的参与，特别是在代表性不足的群体中，将会增加。该项目由美国国家科学基金会资助，是一项雄心勃勃的校园计划的一部分，该计划旨在翻新超过20万平方英尺的校园科学设施。

Keil: Funds awarded to the University of Dayton will be used to renovate 4,800 square feet of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics research space within the 35 year old Sherman and Wohlleben Halls. The infrastructure of these facilities, especially the HVAC, hood, plumbing and electrical systems is unsatisfactory and compromises the ability, both in scope and rigor, to conduct necessary experiments. In addition, the current state of the laboratories discourages research participation by students. Four faculty and more than twenty students will directly benefit from the infrastructure improvements; research programs examining the regulation of plant metabolism, chemical reactions of DNA molecules, biological applications of ceramic materials, and electro-optics will be enhanced. Student interest in science and participation in research, especially within the under-represented groups, is expected to increase with the opportunity to work in modern laboratories. The NSF-funded portion of the project is part of an ambitious campus effort to renovate more than 200,000 square feet of campus science facilities.
