Mirczak This renovation project will modernize the Materials Research Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The building under renovation was built in 1965 and has not undergone significant renovation since it's construction. The plan is to replace the roof; completely upgrade the mechanical systems to current standards for air flow; provide a central chiller facility; upgrade and modernize the electrical distribution system; test for and remove asbestos; eliminate city water cooling systems; and comply with requirements for overall accessibility under the Americans with Disabilities Act. This renovation project will greatly enhance the ability of researchers to perform complex research in a safe and productive manner. The key research areas that will be impacted by this project include materials and environmental engineering, chemistry, and biology. Within these fields, strong synergy has been developed and has become a spawning ground for new technologies and their applications. Within this building there are hand-on laboratories for graduate skills training as well as the integration of engineering and science for development of an energy and environment initiative crucial for emerging technologies. This building renovation will directly change the research and training environment of 29 faculty, 12 postdoctoral fellows, 121 graduate students and 136 undergraduate students.

Mirczak这个翻新项目将使Rensselaer理工学院的材料研究中心现代化。 该建筑物的建造建于1965年，自建造以来就没有进行重大翻新。 计划是更换屋顶；将机械系统完全升级到当前空气流量的标准；提供中央冷却器设施；升级和现代化电气配电系统；测试并去除石棉；消除城市水冷却系统；并符合《美国残疾人法》规定的总体可及性要求。 这个翻新项目将大大增强研究人员以安全和生产的方式进行复杂研究的能力。 该项目将影响该项目的关键研究领域包括材料和环境工程，化学和生物学。 在这些领域中，已经开发出强大的协同作用，并已成为新技术及其应用的产卵场。 在这座建筑物中，有用于研究生技能培训的手工实验室，以及对新兴技术至关重要的能源和环境计划的开发工程和科学的整合。 该建筑物的翻新将直接改变29名教职员工，12名博士后研究员，121名研究生和136名本科生的研究和培训环境。
