Facilities and Equipment

The Biology Department calls the Integrated Science Center. home—a modern, well-equipped facility designed for discovery.

Our research and teaching stretch from the molecular level to entire ecosystems, and our resources reflect that breadth. Students and faculty have access to top-notch labs and specialized equipment, plus field sites like Lake Matoaka, home to the Keck Environmental Field Lab. The department supports advanced microscopy and photographic facilities, molecular biology labs, a greenhouse, a curated herbarium, animal care spaces, and a wood and electronics shop. If you’re into ecology fieldwork, we have all the sampling gear you’ll need. We also coordinate ethanol distribution for preservation in research and teaching. The Center for Conservation Biology is right here on campus too, opening up even more opportunities for hands-on conservation and ecological research.
