A recent NSF award funds the incorporation of single crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) into the entire chemistry curriculum. Lewis & Clark College is the first college in the Pacific Northwest to incorporate SC-XRD into its 100-, 200- and 300-level teaching labs.
You can see some of the teaching lab experiments here.
Chemistry is located in Olin Center on the Undergraduate Campus.
