Rutgers University Builds Chemistry and Chemical Biology Building

Published 7/3/2014

Rutgers University broke ground in June of 2014 on the $115 million Chemistry and Chemical Biology Building. Designed by Flad Architects, the four-story, 145,000-sf facility is sited on the Busch campus in Piscataway, N.J., and will support multidisciplinary collaboration with integrated teaching, research, and support space. Core facilities will include a microscopy suite, a class 100 chemistry cleanroom, and labs for optical spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. Classrooms will provide the latest technology to support teaching and learning. The facility’s modular design and versatile infrastructure will allow reconfiguration of labs and classrooms as technology evolves and the needs of students and faculty change. LEED Gold sustainable design certification will be sought for the project, which will include advanced HVAC and building envelope technologies. The project will be commissioned by Concord Engineering of Voorhees, N.J. Occupancy is expected in fall of 2016.
