Housing state-of-the art research labs in a 20,000 sq ft area, this facility will also provide space for outreach activities involving teacher and student training and will serve as a platform for developing industry-academia interactions.

The Centre has been envisioned to align chemistry education at undergraduate level towards the present and future health care needs.
