Renovation of Hobbs Science Building

这项奖励将为林奇堡学院校园内霍布斯科学大楼的翻新提供资金。这座建筑建于1959年，不能再支持正在进行的研究和研究培训活动。尽管结构合理，但该设施缺乏现代化的室内空间、机械和电气系统，以及对计算机和研究设备的运行至关重要的受控气候。翻新后的霍布斯大楼将成为林奇堡大学科学中心的基石，这是一个综合的科学设施，将容纳所有的科学项目。有了更好的通风、充足的电力和更有效地利用现有空间，研究和研究培训的质量和数量将显著提高。新设施还将帮助学院努力吸引和留住从事科学工作的合格学生。作为一个现代科学设施，它将是一个展示有效的科学研究和培训方法的窗口，并为弗吉尼亚州林奇堡的整个教育界提供技术先进的科学资源。

This award will provide funding for the renovation of the Hobbs Science Building on the campus of Lynchburg College. Constructed in 1959, the building can no longer support ongoing research and research training activities. Though structurally sound, the facility lacks modern interior space, mechanical and electrical systems, and controlled climate critical to the operation of computers and research equipment. The renovated Hobbs Building will become the cornerstone of the Lynchburg College Science Center, a comprehensive science facility that will house all of the science programs. With improved ventilation, adequate electric power, and more effective use of existing space, the quality and quantity of research and research training will be significantly enhanced. The new facility will also assist the College in its efforts to attract and retain qualified students pursuing scientific endeavors. As a modern science facility, it will be a showcase to demonstrate effective science research and training methods and provide a technologically advanced science resource for the entire educational community of Lynchburg, Virginia.
