W. Duncan MacMillan '53 Hall, dedicated Oct. 9, 1998, provides state-of-the-art facilities for undergraduate research and instruction in geology, chemistry and environmental sciences. Materials used for the facade and roof of the $30-million, 76,000 gross-square-foot facility complement existing academic buildings. This view is north from George Street, along Thayer Street.

Every student has a workstation in the six chemistry teaching labs. Every workstation is individually ventilated and enclosed on four sides by safety glass to allow students to look in all directions. Vents run only when hoods are in use. Side hookups for water, gas, vacuum, nitrogen and computer maximize work surfaces.
