Facilities

The Chemistry Department is located in the new Physics/Chemistry Building which was completed in May, 2005. There are well-equipped teaching laboratories for general, integrated organic/inorganic, physical, analytical, and biochemistry. There are several laboratories for instrumentation and computers.
Each faculty member has research space to accommodate 2 to 4 students, and there is a large, well kept stockroom with a separate chemical storage area.
