Here the department occupies approximately one-third of Iacocca Hall, the 200,000-square-foot flagship building that contains offices, classrooms, and laboratories. Additional plant facilities, and the undergraduate chemical processing laboratory occupy approximately 10,000-square-feet in the nearby Imbt Laboratories (named for Catharine and Herbert R. Imbt (1938). These facilities provide excellent support for a wide range of general laboratory equipment for undergraduate and graduate studies of the behavior of typical chemical processing units; special equipment for bioengineering research; special equipment for biochemical engineering and for the study of polymers; high performance computing; and special equipment for the thermodynamic, kinetic, thermal, and physical characterization of molecular systems and materials.

The chemical engineering department has also established a senior design laboratory in Iacocca Hall with state of the art software for chemical process (and plant) design and evaluation.
