Hans Christian Ørsted Institute
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hans Christian Ørsted Institute at the University of Copenhagen is a building complex that houses the departments of Mathematics and Chemistry, as well as part of Physics. It is named after the physicist Hans Christian Ørsted (1777-1851), who discovered electromagnetism (1820) and was the first to isolate aluminium (1825).
The complex is made up of 5 connected buildings: A, B, C, D and E.
Building A is a long connecting building, it's in ground, 1st floor and basement level and holds the canteen and auditories.
Building B is a 5 floor building, and holds facilities for inorganic (ground, 1st and 2nd level) and organic chemistry (3rd, 4th and 5th level). In the basement of the building is a mass spectrometry apparatus. Building C is a 5 floor building similar to building B and holds the sections for theoretical chemistry and spectroscopy. Building D is a 5 floor building similar to B and C. It holds the Ørsted Laboratory.
Building E is another type building, not as large as the other three. It holds the mathematical section.
