Facilities in Support of the Zoology Program
The Department of Zoology's teaching and research programs are supported by appropriate courses, equipment, and facilities in two modern life science buildings -- Life Science II and Life Science III. Available are an electron microscope complex, a centralized animal holding unit, a variety of sophisticated computer facilities, shops for design and construction of research equipment, Morris Library with over 2 million volumes, specialized research laboratories, and significant research collections. In proximity to the central campus are experimental ponds, wildlife enclosures, and natural laboratories. The Cooperative Wildlife Research Laboratory plus the Fisheries and Illinois Aquaculture Center, closely allied with the Department of Zoology, make important contributions to research facilities and research appointments for graduate students.
The geographic location, physiographic features, and prevailing land use practices of southern Illinois and adjacent states offer unequaled opportunities for the use of natural and man-made environments in teaching and research. Of special value are the wildlife refuges, state parks, national forest, large acreages of restored surface-mined lands, and a variety of streams and lakes.
