Hach Hall Dedication
Dedication ceremonies were held Friday, Oct. 8, for Hach Hall, Iowa State University's newest chemistry facility. Instead of the traditional ribbon cutting, a little chemical wizardry provided a fitting launch to the three-story building which includes lab space and technology to perform research and improve undergraduate learning. The facility was funded with a state appropriation and private gifts and is named after Kathryn Hach Darrow, her late husband Clifford Hach, and the extended Hach family, who joined the Roy J. Carver Charitable Trust, Muscatine, and many others in providing gifts.
