The Laboratory for Research on the Structure of Matter (LRSM) was funded by the federal government as a part of increasing scientific research in the 1960's, and is a leader in the synthesis, characterization, theory, and modeling of entirely new classes of materials. 

 

As part of the University's Century Bond program, in 2022 LRSM underwent a $42.5M infrastructure renovation, including a complete electrical and HVAC upgrade, as well as the installation of a new sprinkler system.
