  2. 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)

  3. 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

  4. Burson Building: Second Floor

  5. Burson Building: First Floor

  6. 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

  7. 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

  8. Issues to address: Stockroom • Increase stockroom capacity to support • expanded teaching and research operations

  9. Issues to address: Other needs • Renovate Main Office • Increase number of faculty offices • Common break areas needed • Common student space needed
