Facilities

You'll find state-of-the-art science equipment at Connecticut College.

In recent years, the College has completed $60 million in new construction or renovation of facilities, including the F.W. Olin Science Center, which brought all introductory courses under one roof.

Renovation of the chemistry building, Hale Laboratory, provides modern research facilities and advanced teaching laboratories.

In 2000, the College transformed Brown Auditorium in Hale Laboratory from a traditional lecture hall into an innovative, studio-style, tiered electronic classroom with simultaneous multimedia capability.

Our facilities include:

• electron microscopes
• ion accelerators
• a tunable diode laser spectroscopy lab
• a 500 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer
• scanning and transmission electron microscopes
• a digital transmission electron microscope (TEM)
• an observatory with 20-inch telescope
• tissue culture laboratories
• a molecular biology laboratory
• a Geographic Information System (GIS) laboratory
• hydraulic research flume
• computer science labs
• three controlled-environment rooms
• plant growth chambers
• a greenhouse
• The 750-acre Connecticut College Arboretum, adjacent Thames River, surrounding tidal wetlands and shoreline
