Renovation of a Multidisciplinary Environment for Research and Research Training

克拉克森大学位于纽约北部的农村地区，靠近加拿大的广阔地区，成立于100年前，因为有才华的男女提供工程、科学和管理方面的优质私立教育而闻名。 虽然被认为是一个小的大学，克拉克森有一个大的工程项目。 目前，工程学院分散在五个不同建筑物的两个校区。 这种安排妨碍了跨学科研究机会的发展。现在有足够的空间将整个工程学院整合到一个校园内的一个相互连接的综合体中。 来自国家科学基金会的资金，与该机构的资源，将允许搬迁和改造的研究和培训空间在营地和罗利霍尔斯。 将翻修和改造未充分利用的实验室，以便灵活和有效地利用空间。 除了更换工作台和墙壁外，还将安装现代化的公用事业系统。新大楼的配置将最大限度地加强跨学科的联系和合作，并建立共享设备设施。 该组织将消除教师研究，研究培训和本科教育之间可能存在的任何障碍。 为研究和研究培训创造多学科环境将使该机构能够更好地为学生做好准备，以迎接下一个世纪的工程挑战。

Located in rural upstate New York near the Canadian broader, Clarkson University, founded 100 years ago, has earned a reputation for providing talented men and women with a quality private education in engineering, science and management. Although regarded as a small university, Clarkson has a large engineering program. Presently, the School of Engineering is dispersed among two campuses in five different buildings. This arrangement has interfered with the development of interdisciplinary research opportunities. Sufficient space is now available to consolidate the entire School of Engineering in a single interconnected complex on one campus. Funding from the National Science Foundation, with resources from the institution, will allow for the relocation to and renovation of research and training space in CAMP and Rowley Halls. Underutilized laboratories will be renovated and remodeled to provide flexible and efficient usage of space. Modern utilities systems will be installed, in addition to the replacement of workbenches and walls. The new building's configuration will maximize interdisciplinary contacts and collaborations, and establish shared equipment facilities. This organization will eradicate any barriers that may have existed between faculty research, research training, and undergraduate education. Creation of a multidisciplinary environment for research and research training will enable the institution to better prepare students to meet the engineering challenges of the next century.
