Renovation of Martin Chemistry Building

戴维森学院成立于1837年，是北卡罗来纳州一所私立的、高度挑剔的本科文科学院。该学院在为学生从事科学职业做准备方面有着卓越的历史，并被列入-Oberlin Group+，作为对美国科学家培训做出重大贡献的50所文科学院之一。平均56%的理科和数学系毕业生进入研究生院或专业学校就读。化学课程继续为有兴趣从事化学研究的学生提供良好的培训环境。然而，该计划的主要弱点是在国防部所在的马丁科学大楼缺乏足够、安全和实用的研究和研究培训空间。尽管结构合理，但1948年大楼的实验室不足以满足当前的研究需求，而且不符合ADA的标准。国家科学基金会和戴维森学院将结成伙伴关系，翻新位于马丁大楼二楼的研究实验室。工作将包括翻新、维修或更换实验室案例、通风柜和固定设备。以下实验室包括新的装饰、照明、机械、电气和管道系统：有机化学研究、物理和分析研究、三个教职员工研究实验室、共享仪表室和一个预备室。首先，该项目将定位相关学科和共享的支持空间，允许更大的互动，这将促进化学所有领域的目标趋同。将创造一个令人兴奋和安全的研究环境，这将鼓励学生和教师进行合作研究，增加学生学者的数量，并增加国家未来的科学基础设施。

Founded in 1837, Davidson College is a private, highly selective undergraduate liberal arts college in North Carolina. The College has a history of excellence in preparing students for careers in science, and is included in the -Oberlin Group+ as one of the 50 liberal arts colleges that contributes significantly to the training of U.S. scientists. An average of 56 percent of the graduates in the sciences and mathematics enroll in graduate or professional schools. The Chemistry program continues to offer an excellent training environment for students interested in pursuing chemical research. However, the major weakness in the program is the lack of adequate, safe and functional research and research training space in the Martin Science Building that houses the Department. Although structurally sound, laboratories in the 1948 building are inadequate for current research needs and do not comply with ADA standards. The National Science Foundation and Davidson College will form a partnership in renovating research laboratories located on the second floor of the Martin Building. Work will include renovation, repair, or replacement of laboratory casework, fume hoods, and fixed equipment. New finishes, lighting, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems are included for the following labs: Organic chemistry research, Physical and Analytical research, three faculty research labs, shared instrument rooms and a prep room. Primarily, this project will locate related disciplines together with shared support spaces, allowing greater interaction that will foster a convergence of goals for all fields of chemistry. An exciting and safe research environment will be created, which will encourage student and faculty collaborative studies, increase the number of student scholars, and add to the future scientific infrastructure of the Nation.
