Facilities For Instruction and Research Additional facilities and lands operated by the school are used for field laboratories, demonstrations and research. Of particular note are the 2,000-acre Austin Cary Memorial Forest, located 13 kilometers from Gainesville, and the Swisher and Ordway Preserves near Melrose, Florida. Undergraduate instruction programs use facilities and land made available by private industry and state and federal government agencies. Such cooperation supplements classroom and laboratory exercises by providing exposure to fully operational systems. Additional information about these programs is available from the school's Student Services Office.
