- Renovated and new spaces will include: eight general chemistry, four life sciences, and six organic chemistry teaching labs with associated student collaboration and prep/storage
- Tutoring and informal student collaboration, professional offices
- Renovated general purpose classrooms
- Future nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) space
- Loading, storage, and operational support spaces
- Existing mechanical, electrical, and life safety systems will be replaced.
