\nShimadzu Corp., 溏心vlog免费B站 officials to join in ceremonies Sept. 10<\/p>\n


\nWHO: David M. Dooley, 溏心vlog免费B站 president; Shuzo Maruyama, president of Shimadzu Scientific Instruments; Gerald Sonnenfeld, 溏心vlog免费B站 vice president for Research and Economic Development, Winifred Brownell, dean of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s College of Arts and Sciences; Mike Smith, president of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Foundation, William Euler, chair, 溏心vlog免费B站 Department of Chemistry, other 溏心vlog免费B站 and Shimadzu officials, 溏心vlog免费B站 faculty and students.<\/p>\n


\nWHAT: Officials will sign an agreement that will provide the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s new Center for Chemical and Forensic Sciences with state-of-the-art Shimadzu scientific instruments at a significant discount and including a 5-year service plan, an in-kind donation valued at more than $1.2 million. If the University were to purchase the instruments through normal educational purchasing programs, the cost could run up to $2.8 million. The service plan covers technician visits once each semester to the teaching-learning labs and an additional visit a year to the research laboratories. Shimadzu\u2019s donation ensures that the University has cutting edge instruments and the ability to maintain even heavy demand instruments used by thousands of 溏心vlog免费B站 students who take chemistry each semester.<\/p>\n


\nBACKGROUND: Slated to be completed in the spring of 2016, 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s $68 million Center for Chemical and Forensic Sciences will serve more than 7,000 溏心vlog免费B站 students who take chemistry each year; about 40 percent of all 溏心vlog免费B站 degree programs require at least one chemistry class. It will provide chemistry instruction to approximately 1,400 students each day. Supported primarily by a $61 million bond issue approved by Rhode Island voters and private fund raising, the center will triple the amount of space for teaching labs and nearly double the space for research labs compared to current facilities in Pastore Hall, which was built in 1953 to accommodate 800 students.<\/p>\n


\nWHEN: Wednesday, Sept. 10 at 4:30 p.m.<\/p>\n


\nWHERE: 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Center for Biotechnology and Life Sciences, Room 10, 120 Flagg Road.<\/p>\n
