Department Facilities
With laboratory facilities primarily located in our excellent Science Laboratory Center , the Chemistry Department is extremely well-equipped with modern instrumentation. All of our instruments are available for hands-on use by students both as part of the laboratory section of their chemistry courses and in their individual problems research projects. Because of the WSU Digital Life & Learning Program, we also have excellent computing facilities, both within the department and campus wide.
Pictured above is our 300 MHz JEOL ECX NMR spectrometer, which was purchased with funds provided by a National Science Foundation grant.
