Department of Chemistry Renovation Project Overview
The Department of Chemistry at Burson Building is undertaking a renovation project to address the need for more teaching and research spaces. The project aims to modernize lecture halls, increase laboratory capacities, and accommodate future faculty and student growth. Specific issues include expanding general and organic chemistry laboratories, enhancing safety standards, and providing common student areas. The project envisions adding more faculty, students, and advanced-level labs while maintaining a focus on academic excellence and research innovation.

Burson, Jr. December 24, 1923 December 3, 2012 Bernadette Donovan-Merkert, Professor and Chair of Chemistry December 6, 2012
Department of Chemistry: Today 14 tenured/tenure track faculty, 8 lecturers 8.5 staff members 300 undergraduate Chemistry majors 22 Master s students 18 Doctoral students Large service teaching load 2,457 lecture students (Fall 2011) 1,456 lab students (Fall 2011) http://www.publicrelations.uncc.edu/logo/media/brand/UNCCharlotte_Logos/Logomark/UNCC_Logo_1c.gif
Department of Chemistry: The Future 20-30 tenured/tenure track faculty, 10 lecturers 12-15 staff members 400 undergraduate Chemistry majors 20-25 Master s students 25-30 Doctoral students Larger enrollments in lecture and laboratory courses (more sections will be needed) Expect 3% growth per year http://www.publicrelations.uncc.edu/logo/media/brand/UNCCharlotte_Logos/Logomark/UNCC_Logo_1c.gif
Issues to address: Teaching More laboratory teaching space needed for General laboratories More laboratory teaching space needed for Organic chemistry laboratories Bring organic chemistry laboratories to modern safety levels Lecture halls modernized and capacity increased Possibly increase capacity of advanced level labs http://www.publicrelations.uncc.edu/logo/media/brand/UNCCharlotte_Logos/Logomark/UNCC_Logo_1c.gif
Issues to address: Research More research space needed to accommodate new faculty hires (6-7 additional faculty by 2020) More laboratory space needed for existing faculty (workbench/instrument space and student desk space (graduate and undergraduate students)) Common student areas needed http://www.publicrelations.uncc.edu/logo/media/brand/UNCCharlotte_Logos/Logomark/UNCC_Logo_1c.gif
Issues to address: Stockroom Increase stockroom capacity to support expanded teaching and research operations http://www.publicrelations.uncc.edu/logo/media/brand/UNCCharlotte_Logos/Logomark/UNCC_Logo_1c.gif
Issues to address: Other needs Renovate Main Office Increase number of faculty offices Common break areas needed Common student space needed http://www.publicrelations.uncc.edu/logo/media/brand/UNCCharlotte_Logos/Logomark/UNCC_Logo_1c.gif
Major Infrastructure Needs Supply more laboratories with backup power ( emergency power) Increase capacity to add more hoods (needed for research) HVAC http://www.publicrelations.uncc.edu/logo/media/brand/UNCCharlotte_Logos/Logomark/UNCC_Logo_1c.gif
