Hutchison Hall gets new Organic Chemistry Lab


New teaching lab for organic chemistry
New teaching lab for undergraduate organic chemistry

The University has created an exciting new laboratory space in the Chemistry Department to teach organic chemistry this fall.

An especially novel feature of the new lab is the incorporation of designed discussion space within the lab.  The space will be used to facilitate collaborative, students discussions on the planning, execution, and analysis of experiments. 

The lab is outfitted with modern multimedia capabilities, including two 70 inch LCD screens, a high resolution LCD projector, and a 10 foot drop-down screen, which will allow students to view instructional videos and to display real-time experimental data.  (more)
