Frick Chemistry Laboratory

Natural Sciences Neighborhood: Many of Princeton's mathematics and science departments are clustered along Washington Road in the vicinity of Lewis Library and Icahn Laboratory, allowing students and faculty to collaborate on interdisciplinary research. In addition, many of the structures feature distinctive historical or architectural details. Guyot Hall, which houses the geosciences department, features stone carvings of 200 plants and animals. Jadwin Hall, home of the physics department, displays models and writings from Benjamin Franklin and Joseph Henry, a leading American scientist and University professor from 1832 to 1846. Designed by architect Minoru Yamasaki, Peyton Hall holds the astrophysical sciences department and hosts monthly open houses to observe the night sky with one of its telescopes, with graduate students available to answer questions. The new, state-of-the-art Chemistry Building will include numerous energy-saving technologies, and the new Streicker Bridge spanning Washington Road will help strengthen the connections among the science community.
