First there were dreams, then the chances of them coming true began to appear. Finally, there came the good news that the building for the Faculty of Chemistry would receive funding. First concepts were created, and then the project was attractively presented in visualisations. Today we can stop in front of the entrance to "Alchemium", look up at its modern elevation and go inside, where we are welcomed by a spacious hall, from where we can direct ourselves to the place where we want to be.
