The physics department occupies the first and second floors on the east wing of Valders Hall of Science, which was constructed in 1961 and renovated in 2008.

Pictures to come soon!

In addition to five offices for faculty, a physics library, a student work/study room, a computer lab, and department technician room, there are five teaching laboratories: Advanced Lab, Modern Physics Lab, General Physics Lab, and a General Science Lab. Research facilities include the Particle Physics Lab, the Numerical Physics Lab, the Nanotrbiology Lab, and the Astrophysics Lab.

Astronomy and astrophysics have two special facilities: a Spitz planetarium in Valders Hall of Science and an astronomical observing facility on the roof of Valders Hall. Equipment for astrophysics includes a 10-inch Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and photoelectric photometer, a 14-inch Newtonian reflector, an 8-inch Celestron telescope, a 3.5-inch Questar telescope, cameras, photoelectric photometer, and spectroscope.
