Project Overview

Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, a world leading research center, is the main research facility for Columbia University’s Earth Institute.  In order to meet the necessity to conduct advance earth science and environmental research, the University with the help of a generous donation from Gary Comer and the Comer Science and Education Foundation will soon begin the construction of a new state-of-the-art Geochemistry building. Currently, the University is working with local community groups to ensure the contextual aesthetics of the proposed building design.

The new 63,000 s.f. facility will centralize the Geochemistry Division, which is now located at the old geochemistry laboratory and in other buildings throughout the campus.  It will also provide faculty members and students additional office spaces and laboratories that meet the EPA’s Labs 21 program. Construction is expected to commence in the Fall of 2006 and be completed by the Winter of 2008.
