Research in the Department of Biological Sciences is conducted in Bell Hall, SEH, Ross Hall and Innovation Hall as well as at partnering institutions such as the Smithsonian. 

Science & Engineering Hall 

The SEH houses many of the Biology Department's molecular and cellular biology research laboratories as well as many of our ecology research laboratories. Graduate students and postdocs have assigned cubical spaces near their research labs. The Biology Department is housed on the 5^th and 6^th floors of SEH. 

The basement of SEH houses a number of core facilities including microfabrication, mass spectrometer, NMR, and animal care facilities. 

The Wilbur V. Harlan Greenhouse located on the 8th Floor of the Science and Engineering Hall consists of 1,600 square feet of monitored research and cultivation space. The facility also houses living retired research animals. The facility is open to the public during the Fall and Spring semesters for Open Hours on Fridays from 10:00am-2:00pm.
