The F.W. Olin Biological Sciences Building is designed for undergraduate research in the Department of Biology. In fact, there are more laboratories than classrooms, reflecting our view that students learn more when they are “doing science” than when they are being lectured about science.
The building features subject-area laboratories: anatomy and physiology, animal biology, botany, genetics, environmental sciences and microbiology. Other features of the building are a tissue culture facility for research and teaching immunology and a climate-zone and computer-operated greenhouse.
