The Department of Biological Sciences is located in Bowers Hall near the center of the
Cortland campus. Bowers Hall contains classrooms, teaching laboratories, faculty and staff
offices, research laboratories, computer laboratories, a planetarium, and a science
museum.
The Department conducts a number of activities at College-owned environmental areas. Hoxie
Gorge is a nearby 170 acre nature preserve. Cortland's Outdoor Education Center is a
residential facility located at Raquette Lake in the Adirondacks.
The state legislature has allocated $20 million to begin the renovation of Bowers Hall. Phase I of this very important process has begun and a special set of web pages will provide information about this continuing process: Renovation Web Site.
