Renovation of Student/Faculty Research Spaces at Centre College

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。 该奖项支持一个改造项目，以提供基础设施的改善，以学生/教师的研究空间在合成化学，心理学和心理生物学，在肯塔基州的中心学院。 翻新工程将位于Young Hall，这是一座56，000平方英尺的建筑，容纳生物学，生物化学和分子生物学，心理学，心理生物学和合成化学课程。翻新将包括3，983平方英尺的研究空间：一个合成化学计划实验室，八个心理学和心理生物学实验室，以及一套六个学生研究空间。 这项建议是一个更大的举措在中心的一部分，以增加专用的研究空间，并加强教师在科学学科的研究，证明了一个40,000平方英尺的建筑（目前正在进行中）除了年轻的大厅，将包括教学和研究空间。 该奖项将翻新的空间建于1970年。 改造项目包括通风柜、橱柜、架子、门和其他物品，将使旧区达到现代研究标准。改造将支持学生/教师合作研究，通过使用良性溶剂减少污染物，研究注意力障碍和矫正技术，以及研究审前陪审团偏见和改变审判地点的请愿书。 中心学院的学生来自各种经济背景，该机构有越来越多的学生来自代表性不足的族裔群体。 该设施将改善本科生的研究机会。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). This award supports a renovation project to provide infrastructure improvements to student/faculty research spaces in synthetic chemistry, psychology, and psychobiology, at Centre College of Kentucky. The renovation will be located in Young Hall, a 56,000-square-foot building housing the biology, biochemistry and molecular biology, psychology, psychobiology, and synthetic chemistry programs. The renovation will consist of 3,983 square feet of research space: a lab for the synthetic chemistry program, eight labs for psychology and psychobiology, and a suite of six student research spaces. This proposal is part of a larger initiative at Centre to increase dedicated research space and to enhance faculty research in scientific disciplines, as evidenced by the construction (now underway) of a 40,000-square-foot addition to Young Hall that will include both teaching and research spaces. The space to be renovated by this award was constructed in 1970. The proposed renovations consist of fume hoods, cabinetry, shelving, doors, and other items, and will bring the older areas up to modern research standards.The renovation will support collaborative student/faculty research on the reduction of pollutants via the use of benign solvents, research on attentional disorders and corrective techniques, and research on pre-trial jury bias and change-of-venue petitions. Centre College's students come from a variety of economic backgrounds, and the institution has a growing number of students from underrepresented ethnic groups. The facility will improve research opportunities for undergraduate students.
