Mertzman Franklin and Marshall College is an independent coeducational college with a long history of distinction in science education. In order to sustain its record of producing quality students in the sciences, the college is undertaking a major renovation of the Pfeiffer Science Building, a 25 year old facility that houses the departments of geosciences, physics, chemistry and astronomy. This represents the first step in a more comprehensive $8 million renovation for the entire science complex. Students actively engage in the research enterprise by participating in the student-faculty research program. The program has been a valuable and productive effort, one of the largest in the country. However, despite the breath of scientific endeavors, the basic requirements of the research programs exceed the current limitations of the building in terms of temperature and humidity control, operable fume hoods, and the accessibility to distilled water. This award will provide the funds required to modernize 30,214 square feet of research and research training space. Renovations will include: modifying electrical and plumbing systems, installing a distilled water system and an effective ventilation and air conditioning system, and improving the fume hood system to comply with EPA standards. These renovations will provide a safe, physical environment conducive to quality faculty and student-faculty research. Engaging undergraduate students in science by allowing them to do research has been and will continue to be a fundamental strength of Franklin and Marshall College. ***

梅尔茨曼·富兰克林（Mertzman Franklin）和马歇尔学院（Marshall College）是一所独立的男女同校学院，具有悠久的科学教育历史。 为了维持其在科学中生产优质学生的记录，该学院正在对Pfeiffer Science Building进行重大翻新，Pfeiffer Science Buildity是一个拥有25年历史的设施，设有地球科学，物理，化学和天文学部门。 这代表了整个科学综合体进行800万美元翻新的第一步。 学生通过参加学生教师研究计划积极从事研究企业。 该计划是一项有价值且富有成效的努力，是该国最大的工作之一。 但是，尽管有科学的努力，但研究计划的基本要求超过了建筑物在温度和湿度控制，可操作的通风罩以及蒸馏水的可用性方面的当前局限性。 该奖项将提供现代化30,214平方英尺的研究和研究培训空间所需的资金。 翻新将包括：修改电气和管道系统，安装蒸馏水系统以及有效的通风和空调系统，以及改进通风罩系统以符合EPA标准。 这些翻新将为有利于优质教师和学生教师研究的安全，体育环境提供。 通过允许他们进行研究来吸引本科生从事科学，并且将继续成为富兰克林和马歇尔学院的基本力量。 ***
