Specifications include, but are not limited to: This project (also known as “New Old Chem”) will renovate the campus’ original and historic 1917 portion of the Old Chemistry building and will demolish the building’s 1930’s-era addition and construct a new lab wing in its place which will connect to the 1917 building. When complete, the fully renovated 1917 building plus the new connected wing is intended to support between 140,000 to 160,000 gross square feet of future-forward academic and research space. In total, the project will provide: • New state-of-the-art open-bay chemistry research labs and supporting shared and core research service facilities to replace those that are inflexible and outdated in the adjacent 1960’s-era Crosley Tower. • New faculty and departmental offices for the department of Chemistry, designed to current University standards and to replace those currently located in Crosley Tower. • New standardized offices and open/flexible research labs for the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences. • New faculty collaboration spaces.
