Facilities

Xavier's Chemistry Department is housed predominantly on the third and on the second floors of the Norman C. Francis (NCF) Academic Science Complex (1988) and the Academic Science Annex (1999). All faculty offices and Chemistry Stockroom are located on the third floor; eight teaching labs, four instrument rooms, seven large shared research labs and four small research labs are located on the second and third floors. The Department has outstanding instrumentation for both teaching and research. An NIH-funded Research Centers in Minority Institutions grant has been providing funds to develop and support three Core Facilities at Xavier: Major Instrumentation, Drug Discovery and Delivery, and Cell and Molecular Biology. These Core Facilities are housed in the NCF Academic Science Complex and the adjacent Pharmacy building. In addition, collaborations with faculty at Tulane University, LSU Health Sciences Center, LSU Baton Rouge, and the University of New Orleans allow access to additional instrumentation and resources not available on Xavier's campus
