The chemistry department occupies the third floors of the adjoining Strosacker Science and Dow Science buildings.
The Dow Science building, first occupied in the fall of 1996, contains classrooms, laboratories for analytical, physical, and inorganic chemistry, and instrumentation and research facilities.
The Strosacker Science building, renovated and expanded in 2007-08, houses the chemistry offices, lecture hall, classroom, student study lounge, stockrooms, and laboratories for general, organic, and biochemistry courses and research. The NMR room and laser/Raman spectroscopy labs are also located in Strosacker.
