A $1.22 million gift from an anonymous donor will modernize 亚洲无码 chemistry laboratories. This is the second such gift in the past five years.
In 2018, the same benefactor鈥檚 $1 million gift was used to upgrade a first round of chemistry labs and classrooms. The latest donation will be used to renovate an organic chemistry lab and a general chemistry lab in order to meet the 21st century learning needs of students.
鈥淲e are so appreciative of the ongoing generosity of our donor to provide cutting-edge laboratory experiences in our introductory and organic chemistry labs,鈥 said Steve Johnson, dean of the College of Sciences. 鈥淐oupled with outstanding instruction by chemistry graduate students and staff, these students will be well-prepared for their future endeavors in the physical and life sciences.鈥
The renovations and purchase of new equipment will be made with the goal of meeting the best practice standards recommended by the American Chemical Society. Improvements include ergonomically designed work areas as well as new lighting, washing stations, and chemically resistant bench tops and flooring.
Students can take advantage of state-of-the-art instruments, new storage areas and safety equipment with easy access to eye washes and safety showers. A lab prep and stockroom will also be renovated with new storage capability and improved workspace.
