Chernoff Hall

This $59 million, state of the art facility was established through the efforts of the Chernoff family. It has been the home of the Department of Chemistry since its completion in the Fall of 2002.

Chernoff Hall is located on Bader Lane across from Victoria Hall (on the site of the former St. Lawrence Building, which was torn down to make room for the new construction). It has five-floors of both "wet" sections (laboratory-based) and "dry" sections (administrative-based). Of its more than 14,000 square metres of space, more than 5,000m² is devoted to lab space.

The project was accomplished through the "Campaign For Queen's" with the support of the Ontario Government SuperBuild program, the Ontario Innovation Trust, the Canada Foundation for Innovation, and private donations, most notably from the Chernoff family.

The architects were:

• Brisbin Brook Beynon Architects (lead architectural/engineering firm) and Sauvé Boucher Associates (structural engineering), both from Ottawa, Ontario
• Crossey Engineering (electrical engineering), North York, Ontario
• Keen Engineering (mechanical engineering), Toronto, Ontario.
