The geographic information systems lab is used for computer-assisted studies in topics such as cartography, land use planning, and environmental impact analysis. Second floor Classrooms occupy most of this floor. Third floor Laboratories for physiology and nursing are here. The human psychology lab and small rooms clustered on its periphery are used for psychology classes and student research projects. The environmental physiology lab supports faculty research on human body responses to temperature stresses, particularly cold.
Students often gain practical experiences by participating in such research.
Classrooms and faculty offices complete this floor. Fourth floor Education and Business Administration professional program offices, project rooms, classrooms, and faculty offices are on this floor. Also located here is the Office of Outreach and Extension and the Institute for Learning Partnership. The Institute is a collaborative effort of the University, educators, school unions and administrators, corporations and others who have united to help provide educators the skills and tools needed to improve learning.
