Facilities
Physics Department's main
teaching and research center is the
Joseph Henry Laboratories in Jadwin Hall. Constructed in 1968, Jadwin
houses classrooms, study areas, research laboratories, computing facilities,
the Free Electron Laser laboratory, and
electronics and machine shops, as well as faculty and administrative offices.
The joint math-physics library connects Jadwin Hall to the mathematics tower,
Fine Hall.
Adjacent to the library and connected to Jadwin is the newly
built
McDonnell Hall which houses classrooms and teaching
laboratories, and two state-of-the-art lecture halls.
There is a particularly well-equipped student machine shop in
Jadwin Hall intended to give students and faculty hands-on capability
for fabricating scientific apparatus and teaching aids. There is also a
vacuum laboratory, a chemical laboratory, a glass-blowing shop, and
electronics design facilities. Instruction in the use of all
of these facilities is available to students. Also part of the
Physics Department is the Elementary Particles Laboratory which
houses a machining center, a class 100 clean-room, and particle
detector fabrication areas.
The department is situated on the main campus of
Princeton and is located close to the Princeton Materials Institute,
the Engineering Quadrangle, the Molecular Biology Department, and
the Astrophysics building. Other nearby facilities supporting physics
research are theForrestal Campus Machine Shop and the Princeton
Plasma Physics Laboratory, located about 5 miles from the Princeton campus.
