As part of Science 2000, a program for the development of new research and teaching laboratories, new undergraduate and graduate curricula, and new initiatives in scientific research, Cherry Logan Emerson Hall represents the first phase in the construction of new facilities for the Physical Sciences and Mathematics & Computer Science.
Emerson Hall will house laboratories principally for research in materials anad biomecular chemistry, and the Emerson Center for Scientific Computing. Two related research programs in Physics and two in Mathematics & Computer will also occupy the building. Serving these programs as well as ongoing ones in Chemistry and other scientific disciplines will be state-of-the-art facilities for electron microscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Emerson Hall will also house four Freshman Seminar rooms to serve Emory undergraduates enrolled under the new curriculum
Construction of Emerson Hall began in July, 1999 and the pictures which accompany this page document some of the construction events and the personnel involved. The "deconstruction" images show the removal of a pre-existing chiller plant for Atwood Hall.Its existing services have been ransferred to a newly constructed underground vault.
Phase two of Scince 2000 construction will be a facilitiy for the departments of Physics, Mathematics & Computer Science, and Environmental Studies as well as for a new Physical Sciences Library and teaching laboratories and classrooms.
