Labs

The chemistry laboratories at the University of Alaska Anchorage feature state-of-the-art equipment that facilitate teaching, learning and chemical analysis.

Our labs are located in the Conoco-Phillips Integrated Science Building (CPSB) west of the Arts building and north west of the old Admin building.

Each student enrolled in a lab MUST attend the first day of labs and must attend with their lab manual, goggles, and lab coat available at the UAA campus bookstore. Students shall also be dressed appropriately for lab or entry into lab shall be denied. Review section 3c in the Chemistry Department's Teaching Laboratory Safety Agreement and Procedures below for a complete overview of our dress code.
