Queens College, Remsen Hall

Virtually untouched since its construction in 1951, the existing research and teaching laboratories in Queens College Remsen Hall were outdated and worn. The modernization included a new 26,000 square-foot addition that houses chemistry teaching and research laboratories, and an 130,000 SF renovation of the 60-year-old Remsen facility to accommodate the biological sciences

The new three-story space extends the building frontage along the campus quadrangle and offers an enclosed, peaceful courtyard. The resulting facility is a major highlight of the Queens College campus and represents both CUNY’s and Queens College’s commitment to scientific learning.

Remsen Hall was recognized by the Queens Chamber of Commerce at the Chamber’s 98th Annual Building Awards, receiving the award for Rehabilitation – Schools and Colleges.
