IMPORTANT LOCATIONS FOR CHEMISTRY STUDENTS

Whether you are new to the Haverford community or the Chemistry Department itself, we are here to help you navigate not only your time in classes but your walk to them!

Most of the Haverford Chemistry courses take place within the Koshland Integrated Natural Science Center (KINSC). The building is made up of three main subunits important for Chemistry students. The East Wing is the center of many faculty offices, along with General Chemistry Lab, Organic Chemistry Lab, and Advanced Lab facilities. Sharpless and Hilles contain classrooms and auditorium spaces common for Chemistry courses to occur. 

Stokes Auditorium is located in Stokes Hall, on the other side of the academic quad from the KINSC. Stokes Hall is also the home of Haverford's Office of Academic Resources, which provides one-on-one peer tutoring for students, free of charge. Haverford Chemistry students frequently take advantage of this resource!
