Renovation of Laboratories in the Daniels and Mathews Chemistry Building University of Wisconsin-Madison

这项ARI奖，在威斯康星州的大力支持下，将用于翻新威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校化学系的研究实验室。分别建于29年和33年的丹尼尔斯和马修斯大楼的特定楼层将进行翻新。自威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的设施建设以来的30年里，现代实验化学的实践标准发生了巨大的变化。现有的研究空间缺乏足够的通风来容纳合成化学、化学品储存，以及具有适当的分析和物理化学基础设施的大型仪器空间。当前空间的配置效率不高，无法提供安全的工作环境。翻修将包括：安装通风柜和蒸馏箱，升级通风的化学品储存区，加强安全措施，建立小型仪器设施，并为主要设备安装冷冻水冷却回路。该项目将为与生物相关的化学、合成化学、聚合物化学以及表面和界面化学等领域的项目提供精心设计的现代空间。目前分散在大楼各处的研究小组聚集在一起，将促进智力互动，加强共享仪器的使用，并改善危险材料的安全处理。威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校化学系在研究生培训和研究方面一直保持着卓越的项目，并且在几十年的时间里一直这样做。这一翻修项目极大地提高了该部在今后几年继续达到这一卓越水平的能力。

This ARI award, with substantial matching support from the State of Wisconsin, will be used to renovate research laboratories for the Chemistry Department on the campus of the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Specific floors of the Daniels and Mathews Buildings, constructed 29 and 33 years ago respectively, are targeted for renovation. Standards for the practice of modern experimental chemistry have changed dramatically in the 30 years since the construction of the department's facilities at UW-Madison. Existing research space lacks adequate ventilation for synthetic chemistry, chemical storage, and large instrumentation spaces with appropriate infrastructure for analytical and physical chemistry. Current space is inefficiently configured for a safe working environment. Renovations will include: installing fume hoods and distillation enclosures, upgrading ventilated chemical storage areas, increasing safety measures, creating facilities for small instrumentation, and installing a chilled water cooling loop for major equipment. This project will provide well designed and modern space for programs in biologically related fields of chemistry, synthetic chemistry, polymer chemistry, and in the chemistry of surfaces and interfaces. Clustering of research groups, currently dispersed throughout the building, will facilitate intellectual interactions, enhance access to shared instrumentation, and improve the safe handling of hazardous materials. UW-Madison's Chemistry Department maintains distinguished programs of excellence in both graduate student training and research and has done so consistently over a period of many decades. This renovation project dramatically enhances the Department's ability to continue to achieve this level of excellence in future years.
