Cooper Carry began renovations and additions to Emory University's Chemistry Building in 1996. The current phase includes a 70,000 square foot addition and 40,000 square foot renovation that is under construction and scheduled for completion in 2015. The building is designed to create a new entrance for Emory's chemistry research programs and integrate teaching and research space with shared common areas. Labs will feature open designs, natural lighting, and flexible furniture to accommodate changing needs. The project aims to achieve LEED Gold certification while maintaining normal operations during construction.
