Dana Building contains classrooms and laboratories for instruction and research on three floors. Two floors house the Physics Department where there are special facilities for student-faculty research in the areas of atomic and molecular physics, condensed matter physics, laser spectroscopy, theoretical physics and computational physics. Student laboratories are used for the study of introductory physics, electronics, optics and advanced physics.
All labs contain networked, Pentium-based computers.
In addition, equipment to measure the properties of materials, negative ions and Rydberg atoms is available. Dana also houses the Science Computation Center, which contains high-end workstations for science computation. A third floor has laboratories for instruction and student-faculty research in genetics, molecular and cell biology, microbiology and development. The Watson Life Science Building houses laboratories for instruction and research in biology and psychology. Special facilities are available for student-faculty research in the areas of cell biology, microbiology, histology, anatomy, physiology, invertebrate and vertebrate zoology, botany, animal behavior and ecology.
