Renovations to Research and Research Training Laboratories Olin Hall of Science, Macalester College

霍恩巴赫NSF的50万美元资金将用于支持Macalester学院生物学，化学，地质学，数学/计算机科学，物理学和心理学系的选定研究和研究培训实验室的翻新，维修和重新配置。 这个新设计的空间将提供高效和更新的空间，以支持教师研究，师生研究合作和独立的高级学生研究和研究培训。 翻新后的实验室和研究支持空间将位于奥林科学大厅，该大厅是学院奥林赖斯科学综合体的一部分。 美国国家科学基金会赞助的翻修将发生在麦卡莱斯特的主要改造和建设项目，以改善奥林和赖斯霍尔斯，这是在1965年和1971年分别建成。 这项努力旨在支持越来越多的实验室丰富，以研究为基础，跨学科的方法来学习科学。 整个项目将使该设施符合目前的安全和出入守则，并将重新配置目前高度分隔的空间，这种空间阻碍了科学学科之间的合作研究和研究培训。 15名教师和大约45名学生将成为NSF项目的直接受益者。 麦卡莱斯特计划在2000年之前在科学领域任命8名新教师，以补充自1984年以来聘用的20名新的研究活跃的科学教师。 ***

Hornbach NSF funding of $500,000 will be used to support the renovation, repair, and reconfiguration of selected research and research training laboratories for the Departments of Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Mathematics/Computer Science, Physics and Psychology at Macalester College. This newly-designed space will provide efficient and updated space in support of faculty research, faculty-student research collaborations and independent upper-level student research and research training. The renovated laboratories and research support space will be located in Olin Hall of Science, part of the college s Olin-Rice science complex. The NSF- sponsored renovations will occur within Macalester s major renovation and construction project to improve Olin and Rice Halls which were constructed in 1965 and 1971 respectively. The effort is designed to support the increasingly laboratory- rich, research-based, interdisciplinary approach to learning science. The entire project will bring the facility into compliance with current safety and access codes and will reconfigure current space that is highly compartmentalized inhibiting collaborative research and research training among the scientific disciplines. Fifteen faculty members and approximately 45 students will be direct beneficiaries of the NSF project. Macalester plans to make eight new appointments within the sciences by the year 2000, complementing the twenty new research-active science faculty that have been hired since 1984. ***
