The new Chemical Sciences Building (CSB) is a lab-focused facility to enable a new mode of science where fundamental chemical research can transform into real-world applications in real-time. This is anticipated to be the first phase of a multi-phase project, co-locating chemistry research faculty members currently housed in Bagley Hall and Chemistry Library.
The new CSB building will provide unique opportunities for education and discovery for undergraduate and graduate students in interdisciplinary chemical sciences research and enhance the Department of Chemistry’s ability to recruit and retain faculty and graduate students to grow its research portfolio. This facility requires proximity to the existing Chemistry Building and Bagley Hall with nearby interdisciplinary research centers such as MolES and NanoES. The proposed location (CMP site C17) will relocate displaced occupants from the Chemistry Library and create vacant space in Bagley Hall.
The project is expected to begin design work in early 2025. More information will be posted when available.
