EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling chemistry laboratory at Durham University in the 1960s. The image, captured by A© Historic England Archive, showcases a moment of intense experimental work as students immerse themselves in the world of science. Constructed between 1963-1964 by Laings Construction Company, this complex of buildings was a significant addition to Durham University's campus. Comprising chemistry, geology, and mathematics buildings collectively known as Science Laboratories, it symbolized the university's commitment to scientific advancement. The photograph featured in Laings' monthly newsletter Team Spirit in December 1964 offers a glimpse into one of these cutting-edge chemistry laboratories. Described as equipped with state-of-the-art fume cupboards and four different gas supplies among other services, this space embodied innovation and progress. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness students donning lab coats engrossed in their experiments amidst rows of glass bottles filled with mysterious chemicals. Their dedication and passion for learning are palpable through their focused expressions. This image serves as a testament to the importance of education and research within our society. It reminds us that universities have long been at the forefront of scientific discovery and development. As we admire this historical artifact from Durham University's past, we are reminded of how far we have come while also acknowledging that there is always more knowledge waiting to be uncovered within these hallowed halls.
