Our new building includes state-of-the-art labs with essential infrastructure for advanced research in chemistry and biochemistry.

UMD chem bldg research labs

Flexible, Modular Research Labs

The building’s research labs can be adapted for any research area in the molecular sciences. All lab benches, fume hoods and other equipment can be added or removed to easily achieve any desired configuration. The climate-controlled labs with minimized vibrations are designed for advanced research in the chemical sciences.
