The CUNY-College of Staten Island has excellent research facilities. In both the Biological and Chemical Sciences Building and the Applied Sciences Building constructed in 1994, the College supports state-of-the-art equipment for research in polymers and biopolymers. The Center faculty members at CSI and Hunter are also associated with numerous research centers and programs throughout New York. Thus CART industrial partners will have access not only to the substantial research facilities on campus, but also to the resources of these nearby centers and affiliated programs.
In addition to state of art synthetic laboratories and individual faculty equipments, the following departmental central research facilities are available.
