Chemistry Building Laboratory Upgrades

Overview of Scope:

The project includes renovations to support new wet lab and computational research. It will consolidate teaching laboratories on the main floor of the Chemistry Building, improving access, and locate research laboratories on the upper floors, improving collaboration and safety. The teaching lab consolidation will be in conjunction with the radiochemistry laboratory renovations for the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams.

The renovations will create new research laboratories, a teaching laboratory and associated spaces including offices. They will include new fume hoods and necessary mechanical system upgrades; replacement of laboratory casework and utility services; new ceilings, lighting, painting, and furniture; and coordination with currently funded capital renewal projects.

The MSU Board of Trustees authorized starting construction for this project in April 2023.
