This department's building complex consists of the Pearson research and teaching building (built 1923) and the Michael research building (built 1964). The Michael Building and west wing of Pearson underwent a complete renovation in 1996 that included three floors of state-of-the-art research laboratory space, centralized chemical storage and stockroom facilities, a physical chemistry teaching laboratory complex, and a multimedia electronic lecture auditorium. In 2004 a $5 million renovation project of Pearson included improved lab space and ventilation, building code upgrades, enhanced plumbing and sprinkler systems, as well as the creation of new wet lab facilities in the basement, and first and third floors of Pearson Hall. The department houses first-rate instruments and facilities for modern chemical research. Department Instrumentation includes two high-field multinuclear NMR spectrometers (Bruker AVANCE 300 and AM 300), a JEOL scanning electron microscope with EDS capabilities, Nicolet and Mattson FTIR's, Hewlett Packard GC-MS and Bruker MALDI-TOF mass spectrometers, AA, AES, ICP, diode array UV-Vis and fluorescence spectrometers, several Digital Instruments scanning probe microscopes (STM, AFM), a wide variety of pulsed and CW laser systems for analytical and physical measurement, a variety of potentiostats for electrochemistry, and UHV surface analysis equipment (Auger, HREELS). It also maintains a variety of HPLC's, capillary GC's, as well as a walk-in cold room, an in-house stockroom, professionally staffed electronics and machine shops, and a student machine shop. Additional instrumentation, such as three NMR spectrometers (400 MHz, 500 MHz and soon a 600 MHz), are available at the nearby Tufts Medical School, and a variety of instruments for the preparation and characterization of materials are available on campus at the Engineering School.
