We are thrilled to announce the Barbara and Michael Gibby ’68 Norris Hall of Chemistry Renovation Project Challenge. When we raise $700,000 by June 30, 2024, Barbara and Mike Gibby ’68 will give $1 million to the Norris Hall of Chemistry renovation.
Occidental is committed to ensuring that our faculty and students have the technology, space, and resources they need to teach, learn, and perform cutting-edge research. To meet that goal, we are planning an exciting and much-needed renovation of Norris Hall of Chemistry. The building, which opened in 1960, has served our campus well, but—aside from recent safety upgrades—it has not undergone significant renovations in more than 30 years. Thanks to the Barbara and Michael Gibby ’68 Norris Hall of Chemistry Renovation Project Challenge, when we raise $700,000, Barbara and Mike Gibby ’68 will give $1 million to the Norris Hall of Chemistry renovation.
By joining us in this exciting challenge, your support will enable Occidental to attract and retain premier teacher-scholars and modernize our facilities to support cutting-edge discovery and provide meaningful experiences in the lab — an invaluable asset for all Oxy students and a significant advantage for those who go on to pursue advanced degrees and careers in the sciences.
