The Chemistry Research Center is an addition to the Stepan Chemistry Hall on the University of Notre Dame campus. The addition ties into the existing floor elevations, which include four occupied floors and a mechanical penthouse. The building houses NMR labs designed to accommodate multiple magnets up to 800 MHz at the first floor, chemistry labs at the third and fourth floors, and faculty offices.
The building is a steel-framed structure separated from the existing building by a three-inch expansion joint. The exterior is a CMU and brick cavity wall with cast stone detailing. The roof is a combination of low slope EPDM and slate roofing around the perimeter. The interior construction is gypsum wallboard on metal studs. A new stair connects all levels. The chemistry labs include laboratory casework and countertops, fume hoods, and all associated MEP systems.

The cost figures reported are supplied by the firms that submitted these
projects for publication, which in most cases are the designers or builders.
Whereas these sources are intimately familiar with their projects, they may
not be fully aware of the owners' finally-realized and recorded costs. In some
cases, costs are truly and completely accounted for, and in others they represent
a near approximation of the final costs. Costs have not been adjusted for
year of construction, nor has any attempt been made to make regional cost
adjustments.
Further, costs are not comparable on any kind of detailed standard costing model.
Hence, it is possible for the cost of one building to include a steam boiler, while
the cost of a comparable building might not include the boiler, if steam is being
supplied from an already existing campus grid. Or, in another case, a building might
include excess boiler capacity to supply steam to another building. Some submittals
include fees or unusual site improvements as part of the construction costs, which
others do not.
