IMPROVEMENT OF VISION RESEARCH FACILITY

描述(由申请者提供)：美国国家卫生研究院(NIH)的高获奖率为俄亥俄州立大学的验光学院造成了空间分配的危机。建议在南翼大厅西翼加建三层，以满足目前获得资助和即将获得资助的视觉研究项目的需求。本施工计划完成后，净可分配面积。英国《金融时报》视光学院的研究面积将从目前的10,896平方米增加。英国《金融时报》至24,376平方英尺英国《金融时报》 建设的具体目标是：1)提高进行研究、收集研究数据和分析数据的能力，以病人为中心的研究研究；2)提高患者与研究人员互动的质量；3)允许新资助的研究项目；4)为吸引新教师和留住活跃的研究人员提供环境；5)加强在儿童临床视力研究和特定重点领域的领导能力，如视力康复、眼球运动、角膜/泪液生理学和隐形眼镜；6)允许儿童和成人专门的临床研究领域，不干扰教育计划；7)允许研究生和研究实习生与顾问进行最佳互动；8)通过共享空间和设备提高效率和互动；9)提高研究主题调度和保留的效率；10)整合模块并缓解严重拥挤的研究空间中的压力；11)通过消除目前临床研究项目分散在三栋大楼中来加强合作；以及12)消除研究人员目前使用的“不适当空间”和“借用的教育空间”。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The high award rate from the NEI, National Institutes of Health (NIH) has created a crisis in space allocation for the College of Optometry at The Ohio State University. It is proposed to construct three additional floors on the West Wing of Fry Hall to meet the demand of currently funded and soon-to-be-funded vision research projects. After completion of this construction plan, the net assignable sq. ft. for research at the College of Optometry will increase from its current 10,896 sq. ft. to 24,376 sq. ft. Specific aims of the construction are to: 1) enhance the ability to conduct research, collect research data and to analyze data for patient-oriented research studies; 2) improve the quality of patient interactions with researchers; 3) allow for new funded research projects; 4) provide an environment for attracting new faculty and for retaining active researchers; 5) enhance leadership in children's clinical vision research and in specific focus areas such as vision rehabilitation, eye movements, corneal/tear physiology, and contact lenses; 6) allow dedicated clinical research areas for children and adults that do not interfere with educational programs; 7) allow graduate students and research trainees to interact optimally with advisors; 8) promote efficiency and interaction through shared space and equipment; 9) promote efficiency in research subject scheduling and retention; 10) consolidate modules and relieve stress in severely overcrowded research spaces; 11) enhance collaboration by eliminating the current "scattering" of clinical research programs throughout three buildings; and 12) eliminate "inappropriate spaces" and "borrowed educational space" currently utilized by researchers.
