The Science Programs are located in the new Engineering-Life Science Building which contains instructional classrooms, teaching labs, research labs and faculty offices. Completed in 2000, the building has spectacular views of Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Hood.
Research laboratories
 |
Faculty and student research is conducted in state-of-the-art facilities. Current laboratory research focuses on a wide variety of topics including biochemistry, molecular and population genetics, climate change, glacial geology, marine ecology and human impact assessment. |
Research Extension Unit
| Close to campus is the College of Agriculture and Home Economics' Research and Extension Unit. This 80 acre site has facilities that support a wide variety of research and educational activities involving agriculture, entomology, environmental horticulture, natural resource sciences and more. This facility also serves to coordinate educational and research activities of WSU through southwest Washington. |

Computer classrooms
| The classroom building is equipped with the latest computer equipment for both instructional and student use. The planned multimedia classroom will significantly expand the capacity to utilize modern computer technology. | |
Distance Education
| Because WSU is a single campus, geographically dispersed, communication among campuses throughout
the state and with the University of Washington is important. WHETS
(Washington High Educations Telecommunication System) was created to facilitate this interaction. Students at the WSU
Vancouver campus use WHETS to fulfill course requirements, teleconference to other institutions, and share in state-wide
presentations.
