The department's research, teaching, and support functions are spread over four nearby buildings: Space Science, Dell Butcher Hall, George R. Brown Hall, and MD Anderson Biological Laboratories. Adjacent to the Space Science building is Dell Butcher Hall, opened in 1997, which has additional research laboratories and most of the department's teaching laboratories. Much of the university's research in nanoscale science and technology is conducted in these two buildings. Nearby is the George R. Brown Hall, opened in 1990, which houses modern laboratories for organic chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, and biomedical research. The organic chemists occupy 13,000 sq ft of laboratory space on the second and third floors of the east wing of the building. In May 1992, this building won Research and Development Magazine's "Laboratory of the Year" award. Organic chemistry research also has a strong presence in Dell Butcher Hall. Beyond the Keith-Weiss Geology Building is the MD Anderson Biological Laboratories. With renovations completed in the spring of 2002, the west end of third floor in this building was created to house the expanding presence of theoretical chemistry.
