Intro Chemistry Lab Instrumentation

 

Facilities

The Chemistry Department is located in the Noyce Science Center (Phase II of the science building addition/renovation was completed in 2007). Chemistry students have access to all research facilities and instruments in the department. Personal study carrels and laboratory space for study and research are available for upper-class students. The facilities foster communication and interaction among students and between the students and professors.
