John W. Legg Conference Room- This elegant conference room was dedicated to Dr. John Legg during Homecoming 2007 for 40 years of service to the Department. The focal point in the room is a bust of Dr. Legg commisioned from Dr. Samuel Gore. The room houses recent journal acquisitions of the Department, a solid cherry table and podium, white boards, and audio-visual equipment. The room is well suited for meetings, thesis defenses, and small classes. Archie H. Germany Lecture Hall- This lecture hall is dedicated to Dr. Archie Germany, former professor and Chair of the Department. It is equipped with a state-of-the-art multimedia system and is in almost constant use for chemistry lectures and demonstrations. Computational Chemistry Research Laboratory - The laboratory of the Computational Chemistry Group is located in Hederman 418A. The lab currently contains five dual-processor Opteron Linux workstations; four dual-core, dual-processor Opteron Linux workstations; one dual-core, quad-processor Opteron Linux workstation; and one 32-processor Beowulf cluster. Ray Hannah Computer Laboratory- A laboratory equipped with eleven Dell 1.7 Ghz Pentium-4 computers available to chemistry majors or anyone enrolled in a chemistry course. Internet access is available, as well as word processing, chemical-structure drawing software, spreadsheet applications, molecular modeling software, protein structure-analysis tools, and fundamental chemistry drills. Several of the computers are used for chemistry research and are equipped for complex computations, chemical modeling and spectral analysis. Instrumental Laboratory- An instrument laboratory containing up-to-date equipment that students are encouraged to learn to operate in upper level chemistry course work. Some featured equipment include an FT-IR Spectrometer, a Gas Chromograph, a GC with Mass Selective Detector, a Differential Scanning Calorimeter, X-ray Diffraction equipment, a Polarimeter, a diode-array UV-Vis Spectrometer, Lluminescence/Fluorescence Spectrometers, and a Scintillation Counter. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Laboratory- This lab, located on the ground floor of the newly constructed MCC Connector building, was specifically designed to house a high-field NMR lab. The laboratory is currently equipped with JEOL Eclipse 400 MHz FT-NMR & Varian EM360L 60MHz spectrometers. Used primarily to support the undergraduate and graduate curriculum, the lab is also used to support faculty and student research. Organic Laboratory- A recently constructed laboratory specifically designed to house the organic chemistry laboratory. This lab design includes benchtop ventilation hoods for each student, a separate equipment-laboratory which houses the digital melting-point apparati and balances, and modern microscale glassware kits. Biochemistry Laboratory- A recently updated laboratory designed to reinforce concepts taught in Biochemistry courses and to teach techniques used in Biochemistry research. Equipment includes a refrigerated centrifuge, electrophoresis equipment, Scintillation counters, and multi-cell UV-Vis spectrometers suitable for performing enzyme-kinetics experiments. There are also various laboratories relating to different
disciplines of chemistry such as Inorganic, Physical, and Analytical.
Research laboratories and facilities are also available in the
department.
