Renovation of a Chemistry Laboratory for Research

约翰森梅维尔州立大学位于北达科他州，服务于该州红河谷农业地区的一个小社区。科学楼建于1957年，系化学系所在地，原貌未作任何改动。目前，没有专门的研究和研究培训设施供教师和学生追求他们的研究兴趣。ARI的资金连同国家的资金将用于把一个小实验室、一个暗室和一个化学储存区改造成专门的研究和研究培训场所。电力和管道系统将得到升级，通风系统将得到改善，以维持研究活动的水平。为了支持在有机金属、分析和物理化学领域进行的实验，将安装通风柜和测量房间长度的工作台。这个改造项目是不可或缺的部门的努力，提供一个高质量的本科研究计划。62%的学生来自北达科他州东部和明尼苏达州西部的小农村地区，大约一半的化学专业学生是女性，这个项目将对梅维尔州立大学的本科生研究经历产生重大影响。

Johansen Mayville State University, located in North Dakota, serves a small community in the agrarian Red River Valley region of the State. Built in 1957, the Science Building, housing the Chemistry Department, remains as initially constructed without any modifications. Currently dedicated research and research training facilities are unavailable for faculty and students to pursue their research interests. ARI funds, in combination with State funding, will be used to convert a small laboratory, a dark room and a chemical storage area, to dedicated research and research training space. Electrical and plumbing systems will be upgraded and the ventilation system improved to maintain the level of research activity. In order to support experiments conducted in the areas of organometallic, analytical, and physical chemistry, fume hoods and a bench, measuring the length of the room, will be installed. This renovation project is integral to the Department s efforts in delivering a quality undergraduate research program. With 62% of the student population from small rural areas in eastern North Dakota and western Minnesota, and approximately half of the students majoring in chemistry are women, this project will have a significant impact on the undergraduate research experience at Mayville State.
