Regents Hall, Washington D.C.

Regents Hall, named to honor the century-long service and philanthropy of the Georgetown University Board of Regents, stands as a testament to the pivotal role these advisors have played in the university's development. Since its inception in 1914, the Board of Regents has provided invaluable counsel to Georgetown's academic and administrative leadership, significantly contributing to the university's national and global profile through their advocacy and substantial financial support. The naming of the new center for the sciences recognizes the Board of Regents' leadership during the "For Generations to Come: The Campaign for Georgetown" from July 2006 to June 2016, reflecting their enduring commitment to the institution.

This state-of-the-art facility houses the majority of the faculty for the biology, chemistry, and physics departments. It includes advanced laboratories, classrooms, and open communal spaces designed to foster collaboration and innovation among students in the sciences. Regents Hall is not just a hub for learning and teaching; it also embodies Georgetown's dedication to cutting-edge research and scientific inquiry.

One of the prominent features of Regents Hall is its hosting of Georgetown's Institute for Soft Matter Synthesis and Metrology. This institute, funded partly by a $6.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Standards and Technology, focuses on researching materials that exhibit properties of both liquids and solids. These materials include liquid crystals, gels, colloids, polymers, and foams. The institute's research aims to advance understanding and applications of these complex materials, which have significant implications in various scientific and industrial fields.
