Located within the Lyet Wing of the Masters Center for Science, Mathematics, and Engineering, the Chemistry Department houses an array of cutting-edge laboratories and facilities. These include the Theoretical Chemistry Research Laboratory, equipped for molecular modeling and computational chemistry research, the O.F. Stambaugh Chemistry Library, offering extensive resources, and the NMR Laboratory with its superconducting Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer. The Organic Chemistry Laboratory provides hands-on training, and the Organic Instrument Room supports product analysis. Additionally, the department features the Quantitative Chemical Analysis Laboratory, the General Chemistry Laboratory, the Biochemistry Laboratory, and the Instrumental Analysis Laboratory. The Chemistry Computer Laboratory offers specialized software, and the Chemistry Classroom is dedicated to introductory experiments. Five Research Laboratories further support student-faculty research. These state-of-the-art facilities enhance the educational experience and enable groundbreaking chemistry research.

In the Occupational Therapy program, students gain hands-on experience through simulations in multiple labs, including the Physical Rehabilitation Lab, where they learn about body movement in daily tasks, and the Occupations Lab, which focuses on adapting everyday activities for those with physical or mental challenges. The Kid Zone lab enhances understanding of children's needs, emphasizing play, school, self-care, and independence.

The Cadaver Lab is designed to cater to the evolving needs of future healthcare professionals. With the capability to house multiple cadavers, the lab extends invaluable hands-on learning experiences to students, particularly those enrolled in courses such as Anatomy and Physiology, Advanced Anatomy, and Graduate Anatomy for Physician Assistant students. The lab's design, reflects professional healthcare settings, and provides a practical learning environment that fosters collaboration, encourages the development of a professional self-image among students, and aligns with the goal of cultivating dedicated and proficient future healthcare workers.

Elizabethtown College's Psychology Department offers a rich array of lab spaces designed to enhance students' learning experiences and support faculty scholarship. The Psychology Commons, housing faculty offices and the Psychology Computer Lab, acts as a central hub for students to interact with faculty members, seek guidance, and engage in collaborative discussions. In our Perception, Cognitive, Social, and Developmental labs, students actively participate in ongoing faculty research projects, gaining hands-on experience and contributing to scholarly work. Additionally, the Student Research Suite provides a dedicated space for students to conduct their independent research, fostering their scientific inquiry and honing their research skills. The Neuroscience Lab not only supports specific courses like "Introduction to Neuroscience" and "Sensation and Perception" but also serves as a wet lab, offering students valuable resources for hands-on learning and dissections. These well-equipped lab spaces collectively play a pivotal role in enriching the educational journey of students and facilitating the research endeavors of our dedicated faculty members.
