The Department
occupies instructional, research
and administrative space in three buildings
in close proximity:
the Goessmann Laboratory, the Conte National Center
for Polymer Research,
and the 57,000 sqf Engineering Laboratory II (Elab II).
In addition, the Chemical Engineering Alumni Classroom in the Lederle Graduate Research Tower is a state-of-the-art computer classroom of major importance to teaching and research. |
