Venue description

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers state-of-the-art instrumentation and technical support to carry out research in nearly all phases of chemistry. One 31,000-square-foot wing of the chemistry building is devoted largely to graduate studies and research. The department employs glass blowing, machine shop, electronic, and instrumentation technicians. Chemistry graduate students may use facilities at nearby White Sands Missile Range: a linear accelerator, a deuterium-tritium generator, a fast-burst reactor, counting equipment, and extensive computer equipment. Computing facilities on campus include a campus wide network using two IBM 3081-D mainframes, 100 SUN work stations, eight DEC VAX systems, several special-purpose computers, and 35 clusters of computers throughout the university for students. The chemistry department is networked internally and to the entire campus.
