Norris Hall of Chemistry Renovation

我们激动地庆祝芭芭拉和迈克尔·吉比68年诺里斯化学改造项目挑战赛的成功, and community members have until June 30, 2024 to participate. Join us in the next phase of the Norris Hall of Chemistry renovation. 

十大正规网赌平台致力于确保我们的教师和学生拥有技术, space, and resources they need to teach, learn, and perform cutting-edge research. To meet that goal, 我们正在计划对诺里斯化学大厅进行一次令人兴奋且急需的翻新. The building, which opened in 1960, has served our campus well, 但是，除了最近的安全升级之外，它在30多年里没有进行过重大的翻新. 感谢芭芭拉和迈克尔·吉比68年诺里斯化学翻新工程挑战赛, 我们正在接近2200万美元的目标，开始下一阶段的装修. Join us in this next exciting phase of development.
