Research Facilities


We are committed to the philosophy that students and faculty need access to the most current techniques and instruments, and we receive strong university and external funding to update equipment as the science evolves. From a state-of-the-art instrument shop to an internationally renowned crystallography lab, the IU Department of Chemistry provides an unparalleled support network for graduate research.

Beyond the department, Indiana University’s stellar information technology environment offers outstanding support. Recognized as one of the nation's most "unwired" college campus, Indiana University's technology environment provides nearly city-wide wireless access, state-of-the-art classrooms, outstanding technology labs, and research facilities which are available 24-hours.
