Renovations have recently begun on space within the K.C. Irving Chemistry Centre. A team of contractors is converting room 128 into a collaborative research laboratory, which will add significant research and trainee capacity, and will allow 69传媒to accommodate its growing cluster in macromolecular sciences research. Funding for the renovations is being provided by the Leaders Opportunity Fund from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI). The funding was announced in the fall of 2012 by the Honourable Gary Goodyear, Canada鈥檚 Minister of State for Science and Technology. Read the full release here: While the contractors have been instructed that the work be executed with the least possible interference or disturbance to the campus community, a certain amount of disruption is inevitable. We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding. Renovations are expected to be complete in the fall of 2013. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Jackie MacPhail at 566-6034 or jmacphail@upei.ca.
