Project Description
The chemistry building is a new 60,000-square-foot laboratory building, also LEED Gold-certified. The building includes 11 faculty labs, as well as space for dozens of researchers, graduate students and undergraduates. It is constructed around four central, flexible, open lab spaces and windowed corridors to foster collaboration and connection. Each floor’s main lab is centered around a particular area of research excellence. The first-floor is focused on materials chemistry. The second floor is centered on inorganic and polymer chemistry. In the third-floor lab, faculty and others are working on synthetic organic chemistry and the fourth floor is geared toward chemical biology. The project was designed though a joint effort between Hord Coplan Macht and RATIO Architects. Haselden Construction was the general contractor.
