Most of our offices and laboratories are in the East Wing of the Marian Koshland Integrated Natural Sciences Center, construction of which was completed in 2002.
Our facilities include the following teaching laboratories:
- Intro. Chemistry lab - capacity 32 students. 6 large fume hoods (see picture at top of this page).
- Organic Chemistry lab - capacity 24 students, each of whom has a 4' fume hood or shared use of a 6' fume hood.
- Junior-level integrated laboratory - capacity 20 students, with hoods as in the Organic lab.
- Physical Chemistry Instrumentation laboratory, housing most departmental instruments
- NMR lab, housing the two FT-NMR spectrometers used in our teaching program (hands on use starting with Organic Chemistry).
Each permanent faculty members has a ca. 800 sq. ft. research laboratory with 1 - 4 fume hoods.
