Building History

Chalmers Hall was completed in November 2002 for $12.2 million as an addition to Ackert Hall to support the growing needs of the Division of Biology. The building is named after John Chalmers and serves primarily as a modern research facility.

Chalmers Hall contains ten research laboratories and houses the offices of the Terry C. Johnson Center for Basic Cancer Research. The center is named in honor of Terry C. Johnson, whose leadership helped establish the program before his death from cancer in 2002. The facility provides important research opportunities for faculty and students in biology, biochemistry and related life science fields.
