Academic Building

The original Stack Research Building and the newer Academic Building are the primary foci of academic and research programs at the Station.  The 3-story academic building was built in 1985 and the attached, 2-story Stack Building was renovated in 1986.  The Academic-Stack building includes 12 major research laboratories and a University branch library that receives over 200 journals and is staffed by a full-time librarian.  The building also houses an auditorium; offices for faculty, postdocs, and project staff; three graduate student offices with multiple carrels; 5-6 classrooms; a biological collections room; and supporting service areas.
