The Department of 化学 and 生物化学 occupies space in the Barnes Science Center, 建于1988年, 在奥林霍尔, built in 1961 and later remodeled in 1988. The department has at its disposal roughly 20,200 square feet of physical space between the two buildings with an additional 1,000 square foot instrument laboratory housed in the recently constructed (2003) Tutt Science Center.

The department is home to an elaborate collection of state-of-the-art instrumentation for undergraduate use. Recent acquisitions include a Bruker AVANCE NEO 400 MHz NMR with autosampler (2022), Renishaw inVia confocal Raman microscope (2021), TA Discovery 250 Differential Sanning Calorimeter with autosampler (2021), TA Discovery 5500 Thermogravemetric Analyzer with autosampler (2021), and JASCO J-1100 Circular Dichroism Spectropolarimeter (2021). See below for a complete list of instrumentation.

There is dedicated faculty re搜索 space located in both the Barnes Science Center and Olin Hall. Most re搜索 labs are equipped with fume hoods, 标准实验室设备, 化学品和溶剂储存, 还有供学生使用的书桌空间. 此外, 机, 吹制玻璃, and electronics shops are accessible through the 部门 of 化学 and Physics.
