Gray-Little Hall

Completed and open to student use in 2018, Gray-Little Hall (formerly the Integrated Science Building) provides state-of-the-art facilities and resources. While the official home of the Department of Physics & Astronomy is housed in Malott Hall, the Condensed Matter Group is based out of Gray-Little Hall.
