Welcome to the Department of Physics at McDaniel College!

This is an exciting time to be here on the Hill!  McDaniel College is strongly committed to the sciences and humanities.  McDaniel College has completely renovated the Lewis Hall of Science, home of the Physics Department.  We occupy the third floor of this newly renovated building, while the Mathematics and Computer Science Department occupies the first floor.  We have worked closely with the architects in planning the layout of the Physics Department and are very excited about our new facilities!  There is plenty of space for classroom activities, a new physics computer lab, and better facilities for student-faculty research.

The adjoining historic Lewis Recitation Hall has also been renovated, where the departments from the social sciences, such as sociology, communications, and economics have taken up residence.  The rededication of Lewis Recitation Hall and Lewis Hall of Science took place in October 2001.  In addition, McDaniel College finished constructing a new Science Laboratory Building in October 1999, now called Eaton Hall.  This new building also adjoins Lewis Hall of Science and houses the Chemistry and Biology Departments.  We believe the proximity of the other sciences, social sciences, and mathematics departments will foster closer relationships among the students and faculty of the various departments, in keeping with the liberal arts tradition.  Please come and visit us or drop us a line.
