The Zhang Lab in the Merkert Chemistry Center
Chestnut Hill, MA – Caldwell & Walsh Building Construction recently renovated the Tafti Lab in Higgins Hall as well as the Zhang Lab in the Merkert Chemistry Center at Boston College
The Tafti Physics Lab included wood chemical storage cabinets, thermo box ovens, and a new exhaust hood. In addition, hydrogen gas lines were reworked to accommodate an argon/hydrogen gas mixture.
The focus of the Zhang Lab renovation was to increase functionality and utilization of existing space. Organic and organometallic chemistry researchers now benefit from an increase in lab benches. Casework, solid surface counters, and solvent system updates were required to accommodate needs.
