 In the 1930s, efforts to construct a building for the Chemistry Department accelerated as the existing facilities were deemed makeshift and unsuitable, as they were located in the basement of the [[jarvis_scientific_laboratory|Jarvis Physics Laboratory]]. The head of the Chemistry Department at the time, Professor [[vernon_k._krieble|Vernon Krieble]], solicited the help of Martin W. Clement, Class of 1901, a [[trustees|Trustee]] of the College, to raise the funds for a new building. They succeeded, and in the fall of 1934 construction began and was completed in 1936. [[goodwin-woodward_hall|Goodwin-Woodward Hall]] was built later, adjacent to the building. At the time, the building was a state-of-the-art design of the McKim, Mead, and White firm and was studied by members of other universities looking to build similar facilities. It included a large auditorium for the showing of science or educational films on 35mm projectors.  In the 1930s, efforts to construct a building for the Chemistry Department accelerated as the existing facilities were deemed makeshift and unsuitable, as they were located in the basement of the [[jarvis_scientific_laboratory|Jarvis Physics Laboratory]].
