Gilman Hall, Chemistry research building at University of California Berkeley, US

Gilman Hall stands as a steel and concrete structure designed by architect John Galen Howard, featuring specialized laboratories across multiple floors.

Between 1916 and 1917, the building was constructed to expand the College of Chemistry under the direction of Gilbert Newton Lewis.

Two Nobel Prize winners in Chemistry, William Giauque and Glenn Seaborg, conducted their groundbreaking research within the laboratories of Gilman Hall.

The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering currently occupies the building, with renovated spaces serving as offices and classrooms.

Room 307 marks the location where scientists first identified plutonium as a new element on February 23, 1941.
