## Abstract

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. This A&R project includes the purchase
and installation of two commercial dishwashers, non-absorbent cabinetry, and a Phantom changing station, to
bring the animal facility to state-of-the-art and increase its functionality and capacity.
Presbyterian College – Renovation of storage space in the Biology Department to support the installation and
outfitting of a new cold room to support the research activities of faculty and students participating in PC’s SC
INBRE program.
University of South Carolina Aiken - Renovation of existing teaching laboratory space to convert this space into
state-of-the-art research laboratory space and increase the research and student training capacity in USC
Aiken’s SC INBRE program.
University of South Carolina Upstate - Renovation of a former chemical stockroom converting it into new
research laboratory space at the University of South Carolina Upstate, significantly increasing the research
space available for SC INRBE faculty and students.
