Many important experiments in the history of chemistry have been conducted in the building, as well as significant research by some of the most well known chemists of the 20th century including Marston Taylor Bogert, Henry C. Sherman, [Milton C. Whitaker](/source/Milton_C._Whitaker) and John Maurice Nelson.[1] Seven individuals who researched in Havemeyer eventually received the [Nobel Prize in Chemistry](/source/Nobel_Prize_in_Chemistry), including [Irving Langmuir](/source/Irving_Langmuir) who won in 1932 for his work on [surface chemistry](/source/Surface_science) and [Harold Clayton Urey](/source/Harold_Urey) in 1934 for his discovery of [deuterium](/source/Deuterium).[1] Aside from scientific and academic research, the building has appeared in several movies, in particular room 309, the grand, multi-level lecture hall designed by [Charles Follen McKim](/source/Charles_Follen_McKim).[1] Among the movies filmed there are *[Spider-Man](/source/Spider-Man_(2002_film))*, *[Spider-Man 2](/source/Spider-Man_2)*, *[Spider-Man 3](/source/Spider-Man_3)*, *[Ghostbusters](/source/Ghostbusters)*, *[Mona Lisa Smile](/source/Mona_Lisa_Smile)*, *[The Mirror Has Two Faces](/source/The_Mirror_Has_Two_Faces)*, *[Kill Your Darlings](/source/Kill_Your_Darlings_(2013_film))*, *[Malcolm X](/source/Malcolm_X_(1992_film))*, *[Kinsey](/source/Kinsey_(film))*, *[Rollover](/source/Rollover_(film))* and *[Awakenings](/source/Awakenings)*. ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-acs_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-acs_1-1) [***c***](#cite_ref-acs_1-2) [***d***](#cite_ref-acs_1-3) [***e***](#cite_ref-acs_1-4) ["Havemeyer Hall at Columbia University"](http://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/education/whatischemistry/landmarks/havemeyerhall.html). *National Historic Chemical Landmarks*.
