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.
Service
areas include a darkroom, dedicated rooms for isotope counting and for
CN analyzer analysis, a microscope room, an autoclave area, a room for
environmental chambers, a computer workroom, and common-use labs
dedicated to electrophoresis, GIS, and image analysis.
Additional areas include wet and dry laboratories for field sample
processing, a grinding room for soil and plant tissue grinding, and
rooms for walk-in coolers and drying ovens. |
