New Building for Chemistry

Construction on a 60,000 square foot new home for the Physical Science Department is underway. The construction of this major new facility is supported by funds made available by the MCCD Capital Bond Program that voters approved in November of 2004.  The new facility will open for classes fall 2008.

In addition to new chemistry lecture and laboratory spaces, the new building will include student tutoring and study areas; faculty and department offices; a 48 seat planetarium, the first of its kind in the city of Mesa; and classrooms and laboratories that are designed to promote collaboration among students, faculty and staff.
