Research Laboratories (Pfahler 304, 306, 307, 309, 310, 312)

There are six research labs that are used exclusively for student-faculty research.  Each lab is approximately 300 square feet and contains ample bench space, drawers, and shelving.  The two hoods in each lab have four cold water outlets, house vacuum, air, natural gas, and gas outlets that allow gases to be fed from a cylinder placed in the corner.  Below the hoods are small cabinets for storage of flammable solvents, acids, and bases.  There is also a small refrigerator in each lab, along with emergency eye washes and showers.  A description of faculty research interests and student projects can be found on the research pages.


Student Write-Up Areas (Pfahler 305, 308, 311)

Students who are enrolled in any of the four research courses (CHEM-291, Introduction to Research; CHEM-391, Research/Focused Inquiry; CHEM-491W, Research/Independent Work; and CHEM-492W, Research/Independent Work, cont.) are provided with a desk in one of the three student write-up areas.  Each of these rooms can accommodate six students comfortably, with room for two more.  The rooms lie between two research labs and contain large windows so as to allow students clear views of the labs.  The desks in each room have a set of drawers and a LAN connection, along with ample shelving space.  Printers and telephones are in all three rooms.  Students have 24/7 access to their assigned write-up area.
