First Floor

Major parts of the first-floor biology areas include the Biology Commons, teaching labs, and faculty-research labs.


Biology Commons

Wood on the western and eastern walls of the Biology Commons comes from the woodwork of the old (1951 wing) science building.
biology commons (2)
The Biology Commons is open to the east-west corridor.

The extended east-west corridor, with the opening to the Biology Commons just barely visible about half-way down the corridor on the left.


Biology Teaching Labs
