Side doors connect adjacent spaces with ‘ghost corridor’ for ease of lab prep during class changes
Six General Chemistry Teaching Laboratories occupy the east wing of the third floor and are organized in clusters for ease of prep/servicing through the “ghost corridors” at the back of the laboratories through inter-connecting
benches perpendicular to the teaching wall to facilitate integration of lab and lecture activities. Four 6’-0” wide full-view glass fume hoods are available at the perimeter of each laboratory for shared use by student teams when working with caustic chemicals.
