The Mobile Chemistry Laboratory (MCL) was an outreach project of the Department of Chemistry of Virginia Tech. It was a self-contained unit that carried chemical instrumentation, computers, and chemical equipment to high schools in Virginia that lacked adequate laboratory facilities. The curriculum used on the MCL was developed in concert with high school chemistry teachers and the MCL team. It supported the Chemistry Standards of Learning of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The program ran from 2000 to 2004.

An additional outreach program (ChemKits, a delivery program) provided experiments to schools from 2002 to 2005.

While both programs were terminated in 2006 because of state budget cuts. site links for the MCL and the ChemKit Programs are still active. The physical mobile lab was purchased in 2008 by the University of Pittsburgh and is now on the road as the Pitt Mobile Science Lab.
