Princeton’s new Frick Chemistry Laboratory moves the entire Department of Chemistry at Princeton from the nation’s oldest chemistry laboratory to a new state-of-the-science facility. The result of a collaborative design effort between Payette and Hopkins Architects of London, the new structure is equipped with both cutting-edge and sustainable amenities and will fully integrate Princeton’s teaching program and research programs. The building is organized around a central light-filled atrium, with research labs on the east side connected by pedestrian bridges, office, conference and break-out spaces on the west.

In collaboration with Hopkins Architects, Design Architect.
