A Sept. 4 ribbon-cutting ceremony showcased chemistry labs on the third floor of Mellon Hall that were upgraded as part of Duquesne’s continuing commitment to provide students with the best possible educational facilities.

The labs offer tables with video monitors to easily see and learn techniques from instructors, along with plenty of storage. Dr. David Seybert, professor and former dean; former Provost Dr. Ralph Pearson; and President Dr. Charles J. Dougherty committed $1.1 million to the renovations. The renovations committee visited other institutions before opting for a plan based on renovations at Cleveland State University.

It takes a committee from departments across campus involving CTS and facilities as well as scientists, to renovate a lab including video and tech options. Dr. Ralph Wheeler, chemistry chair, discusses the new labs. Dr. Alicia Paterno, assistant professor of chemistry and biochemistry and chair of the renovation committee, does ribbon-cutting honors with Dean Philip Reeder, center, and Dr. Ralph Wheeler, department chair. The Rev. Dan Walsh, C.S.Sp., director of Spiritan Campus Ministry, blessed the labs from inside and out, and chats with Margaret Cowburn of the chemistry department.
