Clark chemistry’s research lives in the Jeppson Laboratory and the Arthur M. Sackler Sciences Center, which connects with the Physics, Mathematics, and Computer Science Building. The buildings offer more than 50,000 square feet of research and teaching laboratories, lecture and seminar rooms, 部门办公室, and an impressive cache of equipment and instrumentation usually found at larger institutions.
The 卡尔森 School of Chemistry and Biochemistry has access to state-of-the-art equipment for structure determination and assessment of macromolecular dynamics, structure determination of powder crystalline materials, 热力学研究, 动力学的研究, 电子显微镜, 分子生物学, and protein purification. 学生 can also access a large array of computer workstations to facilitate both sophisticated computations and the visualization of complex biomolecular structures. Some of the major equipment includes:
