Ursuline chemistry lab gets cutting edge renovation through Cafaro Foundation

YOUNGSTOWN

The Rev. Richard Murphy, president of Ursuline High School, dedicated the school’s renovated chemistry lab with a blessing.

“We dedicate this room to the sound education of our youth, to the progress of science and to learning,” Father Murphy said in the this morning blessing.

He sprinkled holy water throughout the space.

Jennifer DePizzo, the school’s chemistry teacher, said the $200,000 project retained only the brick wall from the old lab.

The room received new flooring, ceiling, lighting desks, cabinets, eye wash station, fume ventilation, emergency shower and lab benches.

The $200,000 project, funded by the Cafaro Family Foundation, is the first phase of the school’s science wing renovation.
