Chemistry Facilities and Resources

Our department includes over 10,000 square feet of state-of-the-art teaching and research laboratories. Access to these incredible resources allows us to stay on the cutting edge of chemistry teaching and research.

Laboratory Space

As a department, chemistry is located in Wynn Hall (campus map). The building has over 10,000 square feet of laboratory space. This space is divided almost evenly into teaching laboratories and student-faculty research laboratories.

In addition to communal research laboratory space, each faculty member has his/her own personal research laboratory.

All of our research facilities are available to our undergraduate students. Students also have access to a departmental computing center, which houses five fully networked modern microcomputers equipped with software packages specifically suited for scientific data analysis, molecular graphics, and science report preparation.

Major Instrumentation

We are exceptionally well-equipped for both teaching and research in chemistry and biochemistry. Listed below are major instruments housed in our facilities, including our dual-beam X-ray diffractometer, one of only two instruments in the nation at a primarily undergraduate institution (more about the x-ray diffractometer).
