Department of Chemistry : University of Rochester

Because of its size and resources, our department’s infrastructure ranks among the best in the nation, with state-of-the-art instrumentation, labs, and technologies.

Hutchison Hall, which houses the department, is named in honor of Charles Force Hutchison, a chemistry student and University benefactor who graduated in 1897.

The study of chemistry at Rochester has thrived and grown since the University’s founding in 1850.
