Research and Teaching Labs

 

The College’s science building, Olin Rice, underwent a nearly $20 million renovation and expansion during the mid-1990s.  This significantly increased laboratory space, both for courses and for faculty research.  In addition to classroom laboratories, each faculty member now has his/her own research lab space where research is conducted along with students.   With both internal and outside funding, the Department has been able to house these laboratories with with state-of-the-art equipment, including equipment for DNA and protein analysis, a flow cytometer, a real-time PCR system, a mammalian tissue culture facility, image analysis and presentation equipment, a scanning electron microscope, and a wide assortment of other technical equipment supporting course work and research.
