Renovation of Chemistry Research Facilities

东密歇根大学是ARI基金的接受者，用于研究和研究培训实验室的翻新，该实验室位于马克杰斐逊大楼，化学系的所在地。目前的研究活动是在1966年设计的一栋建筑中进行的。该部门的空间分配在一系列特别调整中演变，导致条件不理想。在美国国家科学基金会的支持下，该部门将重组其研究、培训和研究支持设施，以更有效、灵活和有效地利用其资源。翻新包括：为三个合成实验室配备额外的通风柜，并升级通风系统；定制生化毒理学实验室，用层流罩和孵化器取代通风柜，并对仪器和化学储藏室进行现代化改造。这项计划可带来以下结果：提高研究生产力、让更多学生参与研究训练、改善所有研究人员在实验室的健康和安全条件，以及提供一个系统，灵活运用本署的资源，使该设施能应付未来的需要。更多的研究培训机会将增强东密歇根大学在为本科生提供扎实的研究经验方面的成功，引导学生追求科学事业。

Eastern Michigan University is the recipient of ARI funds for the renovation of research and research training laboratories, located in the Mark Jefferson Building, home of the Department of Chemistry. Research activities are currently conducted in a building designed in 1966. The department's allocation of space has evolved in a series of ad hoc adjustments leading to less than optimum conditions. With support from the NSF, the department will reorganize its research, training, and research support facilities to permit more efficient, flexible and productive use of their resources. Renovations consist of: outfitting three synthesis laboratories with additional fume hoods, and upgrading the ventilation system; customizing the biochemical toxicology laboratory by replacing fume hoods with a laminar flow hood and incubators, and modernizing instrument and chemical storage rooms. This project will have the following results: increasing research productivity, accommodating more students involved in research training, improving the health and safety conditions of laboratories for all research personnel, and providing a system for flexible utilization of the department's resources that will enable the facility to serve for future needs. More opportunities for research training will augment Eastern Michigan's success in providing undergraduates with solid research experiences, leading students to pursue careers in science.
