Renovation of John Minahan Science Hall

圣诺伯特学院是一所成立于1891年的文理学院，它是ARI基金的接受者，用于翻新已有27年历史的约翰米纳汉科学大厅，以改善自然科学部的研究空间。学生从事原创性研究，学习使用先进的设备，撰写论文并在专业会议上展示成果。环境科学、生物学、化学和地质学的主动学习和研究训练，以及独立和合作的毕业论文项目，要求有效利用实验室空间，学院致力于容纳这种类型的空间。现有的研究和研究培训以及支持空间将重新配置，为学生提供更多的日常研究机会。装修完成后，专门的实验室空间将支持鱼类学、环境化学和测量、生态学、湖沼学和水文学的研究培训。这项奖励将使该司能够提高其进行高质量研究和研究培训的能力，并吸引更多的教员和学生。一个增强的设施将帮助学生欣赏和理解科学的过程。学院致力于科学教育，这离不开一个完整的研究组成部分。圣诺伯特的目标是继续为21世纪培养最高水平的科学家。

St. Norbert College, a liberal arts institution established in 1891, is the recipient of ARI funds to renovate John Minahan Science Hall, a 27 year old facility, to improve research space for the Division of Natural Sciences. Students engage in original research, learn to use sophisticated equipment, and author papers and present results at professional conferences. Active learning and research training in environmental science, biology, chemistry, and geology, and independent and collaborative senior thesis projects, mandate efficient use of laboratory space and the college is committed in accommodating this type of space. Existing research and research training, and support space will be reconfigured, providing greater opportunities for students to conduct research on a daily basis. Once renovations are completed, dedicated laboratory space will support research training in ichthyology, environmental chemistry and measurements, ecology, limnology and hydrology. This award will enable the Division to increase its ability to conduct quality research and research training and to attract additional faculty and students. An enhanced facility will help students appreciate and understand the scientific process. The College is committed to science education, which cannot be obtained without an integral research component. St. Norbert's goal is to continue to train scientists of the highest caliber for the 21st century.
