Chemistry New Buildings Project
The University has initiated a £29 million pound phased redevelopment of the Department of Chemistry. New state-of-the-art facilities will be provided for both research and undergraduate laboratories.
The first stage of this exciting development involved the completion (in summer 2012) of phase 2 of the Dorothy Hodgkin Research Building at a cost of £9.4 million. This provides additional accommodation for about 100 researchers.
In a second development (part funded by the ERDF), a new two-storey building will be constructed. On the ground floor, state-of-the-art teaching laboratories will provide outstanding professional-standard training facilities for the scientists of tomorrow. On the upper floor, the building will house our Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence, a world leading research centre which aims to promote the development and implementation of green and sustainable chemistry and related technologies into new products and processes.
