What is Happening

Two renovation projects in Chandler Hall were completed to modernize chemistry labs on the 200 and 500 levels and create a new shared research facility on the 300 level. The renovation of the 200 and 500 levels created modern, high-quality labs for general chemistry research. The east side of Chandler’s 300 level was renovated to house the Precision Bimolecular Characterization Facility (PBCF), a shared core characterization facility used by Arts & Sciences, Columbia Engineering, and external affiliates. The project created a next-generation shared resource space suitable for current and future precision instruments vital to the ongoing biochemical and biomedical research carried out by researchers across the Department of Chemistry as well as the University and New York City.

This project was completed in October 2024.
