History

One way to think of the history of the Department of Chemistry is around the history of its buildings. The original building was in use from 1858 until it burned down in 1913. Two years later a state-of-the-art chemistry building opened, which came to be known as Gilman Hall. Gilman Hall housed faculty, labs and administrative offices for the department for nearly a century. Today, Gilman Hall is still heavily used by several units as part of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, but most faculty and labs are located in Hach Hall, which opened in 2010.
