Institutes

Specialized institutes affiliated with the College of the Environment offer our students additional research support and academic opportunities. Each institute maintains facilities that provide training in experiment methodology and the use of advanced laboratory equipment. In collaboration with outside institutions and community organizations, these institutes also offer College of the Environment students access to real-world research projects via a variety of paid and unpaid internship opportunities. Visit our Institutes page for more information.

Facilities

Laboratories

Faculty members of all departments conduct research in a number of laboratories located in Arntzen Hall and the Environmental Studies building. These laboratories provide a valuable training ground for College of the Environment students, and also offer paid research opportunities to a number of graduate and undergraduate assistants. While some of the labs are associated with Institutes, others are stand-alone facilities managed by individual faculty members and their graduate assistants.

Canyon Lake Community Forest

College of the Environment students have access to a community forest reserve of 2,300 acres of forest land in the foothills of Mt. Baker. This parcel of land includes 700 acres of old-growth forest with trees 800 to 1,000 years old, as well as a 50-acre lake and alpine wetlands. This property is one of many resources available to students for research and study in land and wildlife management.

Shannon Point Marine Center

Shannon Point Marine Center, located in Anacortes, Wash., a one-hour drive from Bellingham is a 78-acre coastal research center covered mostly by forest and bordered by 3,000 feet of undisturbed beachfront. The Center is a perfect learning environment, ideal for students studying marine sciences, with easy access to a variety of marine habitats, sophisticated laboratories, and a fleet of research vessels.
