Lycoming Chemistry
Facilities and Equipment
The Heim Building viewed from
the southeast.
The
Department of Chemistry has occupied the $10 million Heim Biology and Chemistry
building, one of the finest undergraduate science facilities in the East, since
1990. The three-level building has over 63,000 square feet and houses the
Departments of both Biology and Chemistry.

The Department has excellent instrumentation. We possess state of the art Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR, National Science Foundation grant, 1998) and Mass Spectrometric (MS, National Science Foundation and Dreyfus Foundation grants, 2000) facilities, a Glovebox and high quality Infrared (IR) and Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-VIS) instrumentation (all three from National Science Foundation grant, 2001). The department also possesses three capillary Gas Chromatographs (GC), a High Pressure liquid Chromatograph (HPLC), a polarograph, and a polarimeter.
