This
244,000 square foot project includes instructional laboratories,
departmental research and organized research facilities
for the chemistry department of the faculty of natural
sciences and mathematics. An adjacent building contains
approximately 45,000 square feet of general instruction
classrooms and lecture halls. The chemistry building
is an 8-story structure of which the first three floors
contain chemistry teaching labs. The upper floors are
occupied by chemistry research facilities. The laboratories
within the building contain over 300 fume hoods. The
fume hood exhaust control consists of a 2-position volumetric
control system which exhausts a fixed air quantity from
each hood on an occupied/unoccupied basis. Sash position
sensors are provided within each hood. This system
offers a high degree of flexibility in the relocation
and addition of fume hoods within the building.
