DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The C.S. Mott Center for Human Growth and Development is a high productivity research center in Wayne State University's Dept. of Ob/Gyn in Detroit. The Mott Center's mission is to advance basic and clinical research and research training in reproductive sciences. In 2003 the Department ranked 1st in the nation in NIH funding among all Ob/Gyn depts. For over 30 yrs, the current facility has served its mission well. To maintain and enhance our national leadership role in reproductive research and research training over the next 30 yrs, we have undertaken a 5-phase renovation, and modernization of the Center: 1) first floor administration and conference facilities (completed March 2001); 2) electrical and HVAC upgrades primarily for administrative offices, conference facilities and laboratory spaces (completed July 2002); 3) third floor laboratories for the NIH/NICHD Perinatology Research Branch, (completed March 2004); 4) laboratories, support spaces and faculty offices of the ground and second floors, and a Clinical Research Center and graduate training facilities on the first floor (completion planned for 2006). Finally, the improvements proposed in the current application for Phase V include: i) a dedicated heating, ventilation and air cooling (HVAC) system which will accommodate a ventilated cage rack system with air exhausting to the building exhaust system; ii) electrical upgrades to facilitate accommodation of ventilated racks and HEPA filtered laminar air flow cage change stations; iii) new lighting and fixtures, iv) new ceilings, v) a new cage/rack washer to replace a 31 year-old unit; vi) installation of a new large capacity autoclave in the cage wash area; vii) installation of an automatic watering system; viii) purchase of four ventilated cage rack units and four laminar air flow cage change stations and xi) modification of restrooms to meet ADA compliance requirements. These improvements along with an already installed back-up power system will provide a facility meeting the projected needs of animal research based at the Mott Center for the next 2-3 decades.

描述（由申请人提供）： C.S. Mott人类发展与发展中心是底特律韦恩州立大学OB/Gyn系的高生产力研究中心。莫特中心的使命是进步生殖科学的基础和临床研究培训。 2003年，该部在所有OB/Gyn部门中的NIH资金中排名全国第一。对于30多年来，当前的设施已经为其任务提供了很好的服务。为了在接下来的30年内维持和增强我们在生殖研究和研究培训中的国家领导角色，我们进行了5阶段的翻新和中心的现代化：1）一楼管理和会议设施（2001年3月完成）； 2）电气和HVAC升级主要用于行政办公室，会议设施和实验室空间（2002年7月完成）； 3）NIH/NICHD生态学研究部的三楼实验室（2004年3月完成）； 4）地面和第二层的实验室，支持空间和教职员工，以及一楼的临床研究中心和研究生培训设施（计划于2006年完成）。最后，当前的V阶段申请中提出的改进包括：i）专用的供暖，通风和空气冷却（HVAC）系统，该系统将容纳通风的笼架系统，并在建筑物排气系统上耗尽空气耗尽。 ii）电气升级以促进通风架和HEPA过滤的层流式空气笼式更换站的容纳； iii）新的照明和固定装置，iv）新天花板，v）一种新的笼子/机架垫圈，以更换一个31岁的单元； vi）在笼子清洗区安装新的大容量高压釜； vii）安装自动浇水系统； viii）购买四个通风的笼架单元和四个层流空气流笼式变更站和xi）修改洗手间，以满足ADA合规性要求。这些改进以及已经安装的备用电源系统将在接下来的2-3年中为基于莫特中心的动物研究需求提供一个设施。
