UWM’s new, state-of-the-art Chemistry Building will better prepare students for the wealth of opportunities open to them. Check out more than two years of construction in less than 30 seconds in this time-lapse video.<\/p>\n

UWM hosts 3,500 students in chemistry or biochemistry classes each year. They are preparing for careers as research scientists, industrial chemists, nurses, pharmacologists, forensic scientists, chemical engineers and more. They\u2019re preparing to work in the fields of medicine, genetic engineering, toxicology, chemical education, nanoscience and more.<\/p>\n

The new Chemistry Building was designed to support instruction and research while fostering a cross-disciplinary and collaborative environment.\u202fThe building embraces a science-on-display environment that reinforces the idea that science is not only for scientists \u2013 it\u2019s for everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
