Hartwick college

In 2001, the Department of Chemistry moved into new and renovated spaces on the 4th floor of Johnstone Science Center and Miller Hall. We share the floor with the Department of Nursing and the Biotechnology Center. Click on the pictures below to see larger images of our instruments, research labs, and classrooms.

Instruments
In addition to standard laboratory equipment such as pH meters, top-loading and analytical balances, Vernier computer interface units, and chemistry-specific software, the chemistry department maintains sophisticated instruments that are available for student use in their courses and on research projects.

Classrooms and Research Labs
The center of the chemistry department is the research and instrument suite. Four individual research labs provide space for students to work one-on-one with chemistry faculty, and additional research space exits for our students in the Environmental and Biotechnology Centers in the Johnstone Science Center. Instruments are housed in one of two instrument suites that are easily accessed from the surrounding classrooms. The biochemistry classroom/lab is located in the Biotechnology Center.

	Research lab This is Dr. Erickson's research lab, one of four in the research/instrument suite.	JSC434
	Biochemistry classroom/lab This space is used to teach BIOC 405/406 lab and for some biochemistry research projects	JSC409
	General Chemistry classroom/lab This room is used for CHEM 107/108 labs and CHEM 109 lab/lecture. The front of the room is also used for lectures in small-enrollment courses. The twelve table-top hoods can accommodate up to 24 students.	JSC418
	Analytical/Physical Chemistry lab This lab space is used for the laboratory sections of CHEM 203, 303/304, and 404.	JSC438
	Organic Chemistry classroom/lab This space is used to teach CHEM 201/202 labs. The twelve 6-foot hoods around the room can accommodate up to 24 students. The desks at the front of the room are used for pre-lab lectures.	JSC446
