Organic Chemistry Lab

Developed in collaboration with the universities expanding nursing program, the remodel of the historical WPA-constructed James Building will provide a state-of-the-art chemistry lab capable of ushering the university's chemistry department well into the 21st century and setting the standard for future lab remodels on campus.  The interior environment consists of; all new finishes and cabinetry, utility infrastructure, HVAC, Lighting, custom-designed 8-person lab benches with linear pendant lighting and exhaust snorkels for localized experimentation.  Fume hoods are arranged for optimal supervision and safety. Wireless internet technologies and LCD's screens have been provided at each lab bench for ease of research via laptop computers and to allow for broadcasting of instructor's experiments from remote location.  The Organic Chemestry Laboratory opened to wide acclaim from students, faculty, and the University’s administration.
