Welch Hall has housed the university’s chemistry department since its original construction. Beck’s construction team renovated six floors of the 1929 east wing to upgrade chemistry teaching and research laboratories. The renovations included modernization and life safety improvements of classrooms, administrative offices, wet and dry laboratories, computer labs and all required support facilities.
