The Department of Chemistry offers a state-of-the-art research environment with brand new teaching and research laboratories. $37M of renovations, completed in 2012, were made possible through funding from the Governments of Canada and Quebec, and McGill University. Research and teaching are now performed in large and bright environments, with glass separated office spaces and state-of-the-art laboratory infrastructure.

Project Description:
This project aims to modify room 025 located in the Maass Chemistry Building. This room will be divided into 3 rooms: 25A, 25B, 25C.
Project Scope :
Architecture: The walls for room 25A and 25B need to be two-layer sound proof gypsum boards and the walls for room 25C need to be quadruple-layer sound-proofed gypsum boards. In wet lab 25A and dry lab 25B, new acoustic ceramic ceiling tiles are to be installed and new epoxy floors and baseboards installed. Repaint the gypsum boards of ceiling of entry lock 25 and circulation space in room 25A, install new benchtops in 25A and 25B, install a new suspended electrified rack in room 25B and install an adhesive carpet at the entrance of room 25B. Radiators need to be removed and replaced with new ones and new wooden doors with steel frames to be installed.
Note: Access to room 26 will require complex phasing of work and services shutdown will affect other rooms.
Mechanical and Electrical: Demolition of plumbing, ventilation, sprinkler and electrical works. Major mechanical and electrical work is required affecting HVAC system, sprinkler system, fire alarm system and electrical system.
