A dynamic gateway to research

As one of the nation's premier public research universities, Rutgers boasts a world class chemistry program that has made a substantive impact, not just on scholarship, but on everyday life with discoveries in areas ranging from health to energy to the environment. And as one of the top recipients of federal funding for chemistry R&D in the country for over a decade, there is an expectation that the department will continue to innovate, question, and explore.

The new Chemistry and Chemical Biology Building is more than a department home. Designed to support cutting-edge research, the facility is also a new dynamic gateway for the north end of campus. The site's generous pedestrian throughway follows the form's length before passing beneath a transparent bridge, emerging to connect with the neighboring student center and dining hall. This LEED Gold building embodies commitment to a sustainable future. And looking beyond the university community, the facility hosts collaborative partnerships with the many pharmaceutical and chemical industries in the surrounding region, benefiting economies locally and across the country.
