Project Summary – Alteration and Renovation SC INBRE IV proposes alterations and renovations of animal facilities and underutilized teaching/storage space at five PUIs. Two of these institutions are continuing network members (Presbyterian College and USC Aiken; both were new in SC INBRE III), two were outreach institutions in SC INBRE III that will become network members in SC INBRE IV (Benedict College and Converse College), and one (USC Upstate) is a new network member institution for SC INBRE IV. The following alterations and renovations at these institutions are proposed: Benedict College - Renovation of the wash/autoclave room (serving the laboratories and animal facility) that will be used by SC INBRE faculty and students. Requested renovations including the replacement of ceiling and floors, the installation of new electrical and vent work, and the purchase and installation of a new medium- sized autoclave. Converse College - Alterations and renovations of the animal facility in Kuhn Hall to increase the research capacity in support of the Converser SC INBRE research program.
