The Lodz University of Technology is opening the Alchemium building on September 19, 2021. The program of this event includes the naming of the auditorium after Prof. Tadeusz Paryjczak, a long-time dean of the Faculty of Chemistry, who died in 2019, and the unveiling of a plaque commemorating the professor. 

The new hall with 500 seats is the most essential part of the Alchemium. It will replace the well-worn the Prof. Andrzej Sołtan auditorium as the place of the most important university-wide celebrations.

The opening of the conference and teaching center will complete the first part of the Alchemium construction. The second part will include constructing an educational building for students and researchers-chemists, which will be implemented in the coming years.

The total construction cost of Alchemium is over PLN 100 million. The investment was co-financed by the Ministry of Science in the amount of PLN 97.5 million.
