The Chemistry Building was completed in June of 1993 after a two year period of construction. The Department moved in during Summer 1993 and began classes in September.

Two features of the 64,000 square foot building emphasized in the design are the availability of natural light in all laboratories and major corridors, and the availability of "human spaces" where students can study within the building or get together for impromptu discussions with each other and with their professors.

The general plan of this building is based on a two corridor system. One of these is a service corridor which is located on each floor in the center of the building and divides it into two halves. A supply elevator serves these corridors, and it connects to the stockroom on the first floor of the building. All teaching functions are located on the East side of this corridor, major instrumentation and research functions are located on the other side. All of the lab preparation/supply rooms, and all of the research labs, are located on the supply corridor. The second corridor, which is on the front of the building on each floor, is a public corridor. All of the teaching labs are located on this public corridor. Students also use it to reach their instructional labs. Faculty offices are located in a stack (6 offices on each floor) located at the north end of the building.
