Gottwald Center for the Sciences

Located on the campus of the University of Richmond, this building is the primary home of the various science departments of the university.
A major enhancement to the university’s scientific resources occurred with the re-dedication of the Gottwald Center for the Sciences in 2006. The $37 million Gottwald expansion provides state of the art facilities for departments and programs in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Studies, Neuroscience, Physics, and Pre-Health.
Gottwald houses 22 teaching laboratories and 50 student-faculty research laboratories, including a quantitative science center and a nuclear magnetic resonance center. A central atrium, reading room, and meeting spaces on every floor, extending classroom learning throughout the building. Student workbenches are grouped into islands that promote interactive learning and faculty/student interaction. New equipment at the Gottwald Center for the Sciences includes a liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer, a scanning electron microscope, a high-field nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer, a confocal microscope and an atomic force microscope.
