These 6 buildings all serve the Chemistry Department, and are all connected by hallways or by the large central courtyard, and therefore are shown together.
Lewis Hall houses Analytic, Inorganic, and Microchemistry. It was designed by Anshen and Allen in 1948, and named after Prof. Gilbert N. Lewis.
Latimer Hall houses many classrooms & part of the Chem. Library. Designed by Anshen and Allen in 1963, it was named for Wendell M. Latimer, a Dean of the College.
Hildebrand Hall houses the Chem. Engineering Library, along with many research labs and offices. Designed by Anshen and Allen, Hildebrand Hall opened in 1966, and was named for Prof. Joel Hildebrand.
Gilman Hall was designed by John Galen Howard in 1918, and named after Daniel Gilman. It has been made a Historic Chemistry Landmark for its large number of contributions to the field, such as the discovery of Plutonium.
The Giauque Low-Temperature Lab is tucked beneath this cluster of buildings. It is 1 story above ground with 2 basement floors. It was designed by Architects Reynolds and Chamberlain in 1954 as a research facility for properties of matter at low temperatures, in honor of William F. Giauque, a prof. and Nobel Laureate.
Tan Kah Kee Hall, named for the Chinese philanthropist, was built for research in the fields of biotech, pharmaceuticals, fuels, chemicals, and the environment. The hall consists of 7 floors of lab space, a computer facility, conference room, and lecture hall. #American_Chemical_Society #Anshen_Allen #Chemical_Landmark #Chemistry #Chemistry_Library #Daniel_Gilman #Giauque_Lab #Gilbert_Lewis #Gilman_Hall #Glenn_Seaborg #Hildebrand_Hall #Joel_Hildebrand #John_Galen_Howard #Latimer_Hall #Lewis_Hall #Low_Temperature_Lab #Plutonium #Reynolds_Chamberlain #Tan_Kah_Kee #Wendell_Latimer #William_Giauque
