RENOVATION OF COOLEY MICROBIOLOGY LABORATORIES

描述(由申请人提供)： 我们建议对蒙大拿州立大学(MSU)的库利微生物实验室进行分阶段的改造。实验室由四层楼和一个地下室组成，效率极低，没有集中冷却、空气供应、真空或蒸馏水/反渗透水。博兹曼消防局每年还会因为基础设施和过度使用违规行为而对他们进行传讯。在这份提案中，我们要求美国国立卫生研究院为翻修计划的第一阶段提供资金。这一阶段为我们的生物医学研究小组完成了顶层两层(3层和4层)的完全翻新。此外，拟新建一部电梯，以满足目前联邦和地方法规的要求，并拟对地下室进行部分翻修，以便在大楼内安装公用设施，包括为共用的基因组学设施和生物信息学研究和培训中心提供冷却要求。为了满足当前和未来对生物医学研究的需求，我们的具体目标包括： 。拆除所有现有的墙壁和走廊，取而代之的是采用MAX/Lab(Tm)可适应家具系统或类似系统的开放式模块化实验室设计。 。将目前的实验室面积增加约13%，并大大提高教职员工、研究人员和学生之间的互动效率。 。包括一个300平方英尺的BSL-3实验室，供库利实验室所有楼层的研究项目、密歇根州立大学其他部门的研究项目使用，并在疾病爆发紧急情况下作为蒙大拿州的资源。 。包括教师和学生办公室、设备间、组织培养室、显微镜间、步入式冷藏室、电气柜、化学配药室、休息室和新的符合ADA标准的洗手间。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose a phased program for the renovation of the Cooley Microbiological Laboratories at Montana State University (MSU). The laboratories consist of four floors and a basement and are highly inefficient, with no centralized cooling, air supply, vacuum, or distilled/RO water. They are also cited by the Bozeman Fire Department every year for infrastructure and overuse violations. In this proposal, we are requesting funds from the NIH for the first phase of the renovation program. This phase addresses the complete renovation of the top two floors (Floors 3 & 4) for our biomedical research group. In addition, a new elevator is proposed to meet current federal and local code requirements, and partial renovation of the basement is proposed to allow installation of utilities to the building, including cooling requirements for a shared genomics facility and bioinformatics research and training center. In order to meet current and future needs for biomedical research, our specific aims include: . Removal of all existing walls and corridors to be replaced with open plan modular laboratory designs using the Max/Lab(tm) Adaptable Furniture System or equivalent. . Increase the current laboratory areas by approximately 13% and allow for far greater efficiency in interactions between faculty, research staff and students. . Include a 300-square-foot BSL-3 laboratory to be used by research programs from all floors of the Cooley Laboratories, from other MSU departments and as a resource for the State of Montana at times of disease outbreak emergencies. . Include faculty and student offices, equipment rooms, a tissue culture room, microscope room, walk-in cold rooms, electrical closets, chemical dispensing rooms, break rooms and new ADA compliant restrooms.
