Moody Scientific Research Lab Renovation: The upgrade of Moody 202

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。该项目将翻新建于1968年的穆迪科学大楼的实验室空间。 虽然穆迪在2001年进行了改造，但所涉空间没有升级。该要求是新的研究工作台与架空存储和内置的办公桌，两个遮光罩更换，模块化通风以上的工作台，洗眼站，和专用的仪器空间。此外，还将升级或安装以太网、真空和氮气管线以及电力等基础设施。 化学品储存将转移到一个小的专用空间，限制进入。这些提升工程不但可加强研究基础设施，更可确保实验室在处理和储存化学品方面的安全守则得以建立。是次研究的三名成员均具有工业背景，并在有机化学、分析化学及材料化学等范畴进行研究。此次改造将改善教师和本科生的研究空间，并扩大可以在任何特定时间进行研究的本科生人数。Schreiner大学来自德克萨斯州的农村人口，其中西班牙裔占很大比例。参与本科科学研究的学生中50%以上是女性。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This project will renovate laboratory space in the Moody Science Building, which was built in 1968. While Moody was remodeled in 2001, the space in question was not upgraded. The request is for new research benches with overhead storage and built-in desks, two hood replacements, modular ventilation above the benches, eye-wash stations, and dedicated instrumentation space. In addition, infrastructure such as Ethernet, vacuum and nitrogen gas lines and electrical will be upgraded or installed. Chemical storage will be moved to a small dedicated space with restricted access. These upgrades will not only enhance research infrastructure, but also ensure that safe laboratory practices for handling and storing of chemicals can be established.The three members of this research all have industry background and conduct research in the areas of organic, analytical and materials chemistry. The renovation will improve research space for faculty and undergraduate students, and expand the number of undergraduate students who can conduct research at any given time. Schreiner University draws from a rural population in Texas with a large proportion of Hispanics. Over 50% of the students involved in undergraduate science research are female.
