Departmental Facilities

Facility

The department is housed in a modern Science Center facility with an extensive array of modern instrumentation which is all available for undergraduate student use. In addition, the associated Natural Resources Research Center is a fully-equipped analytical laboratory located just West of the Science Center. The department is committed to training students to become successful scientists capable of using and maintaining the instrumentation with which they work, collecting and preparing their samples and materials for analysis, aggregating and manipulating experimental data effectively, and looking at their data critically to ensure that it represents the true outcomes of their experiments.
