OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY CHEMISTRY CENTER
Old Dominion University is a Research University serving more than 24,000 students. The Chemistry Building is a 110,500 square foot, four- story building with 13 teaching laboratories, 24 research labs, a tutoring/active learning center, faculty offices, and departmental administrative and technical support space for the Departments of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Biology. The building enables faculty, staff and more than 5,000 STEM-H students to do world- class research – all in one location.
Previously, chemistry classes were spread out over 28 locations across campus. Now, first-year students can attend class, go to labs, consult with faculty members and receive tutoring all on the first floor, and all within view of each other. A similar setup on the second floor holds classes and labs for sophomores. Much of the first two floors are visible from the outside through a large swath of glass creating “STEM on display.” Juniors and seniors participate in research with graduate students and faculty on the upper floors.
The 122- seat Michael and Kimthanh Lê Planetarium/Digital Theater serves as a planetarium, chemistry lecture hall, and seminar venue. It’s 3-D model simulation and cutting-edge high-resolution, dual-laser projection system projects images on a 49-foot dome in 4-K. Professors can project three-dimensional proteins and molecules, notes and videos on the dome, all at the same time.
An expansion of ODU’s existing chiller plant accomodates multiple buildings on campus, including this one. The team used Aquatherm pipe to allow a four-month CUP expansion to be completed over a five-week winter break.

THE GROVE AT HAMPDEN-SYDNEY COLLEGE
Hampden-Sydney College, a private men’s liberal art college in Hampden-Sydney, Virginia, has been forming good men and citizens since 1776.
“The Grove” residence hall complex offers 150 young men a unique “cabin in the woods” experience designed to foster connections between one another and with nature. The complex consists of five residence halls, each bearing an arboreal name: Hickory, Oak, Osage, Poplar, and Sycamore.
Anchoring the southern end of the complex overlooking Chalgrove is the social hub of the Grove, the firepit and kayak outfitted Lodge. The timber framed structure features a brick fireplace, leather furniture, and sloped laminated wood ceilings creating a lodge-like environment and a welcoming, comfortable space to relax, study and socialize. Floor to ceiling windows provide panoramic views and blur the visual boundary between indoor and out. In warmer months, the deck provides a dining and meeting area with views of Chalgrove, where new docks and foot bridges enhance pedestrian access around the water’s edge.
T“he Grove apartments have quickly become the most in-demand residence halls on campus. Given our COVID-19 precautions, the open courtyard, fire pit, and the proximity to Lake Chalgrove and the Wilson Trail has provided students with a valuable setting to safely socialize and enjoy the fall weather.
