The Buildings

The Department of Chemistry at Colorado State occupies a modern, 157,000-square-foot building. There are four floors of offices, teaching and research laboratories, chemical and equipment stockrooms, and machine, glassblowing, and electronics shops, as well as lecture halls, classrooms, and seminar rooms.

The Chemistry/Biosciences Hall opened in the fall of 2002. The new building houses state-of-the-art undergraduate laboratories and classrooms for biology, biochemistry, and chemistry (4th & 5th floors).

Online floor plans for the Chemistry building are available.
