The Robert and Jane Meyerhoff Chemistry Building is the home of the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department and it houses most of the classroom and laboratory space used for formal undergraduate and graduate education. Extensively renovated and rededicated in 2005, these instructional facilities are state of the art! While the Department houses the University’s largest lecture hall, more intimate classrooms employed in upper level and graduate courses are interspersed with Faculty research space throughout the building. This layout is appropriate in a program deeply committed to both the dissemination and discovery of knowledge in a relentlessly growing discipline. Laboratory instruction is carried out in spacious facilities with each student occupying individual benchspace – in Organic Lab (CHEM 351-2L) this means individualized space in a modern well-ventilated fume hood! Many students also take advantage of the Chemistry Tutorial Center, a unique asset of our instructional program. Staffed by a Ph.D. Chemist who both tutors and directs instruction by a trained cadre of advanced undergraduates and graduate students, the Center is open daytime and evening hours for scheduled and walk-in help with chemistry. Introductory courses in Chemistry are the focus of highly innovative externally funded initiatives to improve instruction and retention of students in chemistry and allied curricula.
