Buildings and Research Centers College of Natural Sciences, University of Massachusetts Amherst

The College of Natural Sciences (CNS) at the University of Massachusetts consists of 13 departments and two schools: Astronomy, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Conservation, Food Science, Geosciences, Mathematics and Statistics, Microbiology, Physics, Polymer Science and Engineering, Psychological and Brain Sciences, School of Earth and Sustainability, Stockbridge School of Agriculture, and Veterinary and Animal Sciences.

The main UMass Amherst campus is located on 1,450 acres. The College of Natural Sciences (CNS) is housed in 18 buildings on the main campus (see attached map). These 18 buildings on the main campus are the primary sites for the academic and translation science work being done in CNS by faculty, postdoctoral students, graduate students, and undergraduates. They include research labs, classroom spaces, technology laboratories, and other research sites for faculty, students, and staff.

Students and faculty also have access to other non-science buildings on campus including the athletic center, library, tennis courts, gymnasiums, track facilities, walking and biking trails, outdoor sports fields, and off-campus research centers.

Off campus, CNS also operates a number of orchards, agricultural sites, a turf facility, the Hodgkins Cove Marine Station, the Cranberry Experiment Station, and more than 2,000 acres in five forests across the state.

Recently completed projects include the creation of the Integrated Sciences Building and the Life Sciences Laboratory, which has been awarded LEED gold certification. Paige Lab received a complete building renovation and we’ve just completed a major renovation of space in Morrill Laboratory to house our Plant Biology Program. Currently under construction the Physical Science Building and the Design Building.

The Integrated Sciences Building is a 157,000 square foot modern building that uses 85,00 square feet for classroom and laboratory space for basic and advanced courses in chemistry, biochemistry, veterinary and animal science and biology. It also contains a 300 seat auditorium, and flexible research laboratories for life sciences research teams. Special features include an interactive molecular playground in the lobby, distance learning capacity, student lounge, study areas, socializing space, and a café.

The Life Sciences Laboratories building, which opened in 2013, contains flexible open labs. These flexible open labs offer equipment alcoves, enclosed support labs, shared 3platform labs and faculty offices, labs, conference rooms, colloquia, and food serving areas.

The north wing of the LSL houses 32 faculty labs. The south wing of the LSL, is expected to be completed in early 2016, will become the permanent home to the interdisciplinary, entrepreneurial, and collaborative Institute of Applied Life Sciences (IALS). IALS is the umbrella organization for nearly 100 faculty, staff, and students from three colleges and 16 departments who conduct research and receive practical education and training through the institute and its three life sciences centers: the Center for Bioactive Delivery, the Models to Medicine Center (M2M), and the Center for Personalized Health Monitoring (CPHM).

Currently under construction, the Physical Science Building is seeking LEED Silver certification. The project will provide labs, lab support, and office for 20 faculty and approximately 130 bench positions. The building’s 44,255 square feet will include lab and lab support space, offices, conference space, and building support. The current phase of construction covers preliminary utility construction and upgrades. The final construction phase, with an expected completion date of early 2018, includes construction of the PSB as well as reconstruction and rehabilitation of the existing West Experiment Station lab and work on the Lederle Graduate Research Tower.

Also under construction and expected to open its doors in the spring of 2017 is the Design Building (DB, a four-story, 87,200 sf building located on the southern part of parking lot 62 just north of the Studio Arts Building. It will house three academic programs from three separate colleges in a single facility: Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning (College of Social and Behavioral Sciences), the department of Architecture (College of Humanities and Fine Arts), and the Building Construction Technology program (College of Natural Sciences). The DB will integrate the latest wood technologies including a structural system consisting of exposed heavy engineered timber and cross laminated timber decking and shear walls. The College of Natural Sciences operates the following research centers:

• Amherst Center for Fundamental Interactions advances research in theoretical and experimental physics at the interface of the Energy, Intensity, and Cosmic frontiers. • Center for Agriculture, Food and the Environment connects individuals, industries, and government agencies with scientists and educators, and provides access to all agricultural expertise on campus. • Center for Applied Mathematics and Mathematical Computation engages faculty and students in research and instruction in applied mathematics and scientific computation. • Center for Biological Physics facilitates interactions between physicists and life scientists and to engender physically sophisticated research on biological systems. • Center for Geometry, Analysis, Numerics and Graphics (GANG) enables differential Geometry research team to compute, visualize, and experiment with geometric objects. • Center for Hierarchical Manufacturing (NSEC) develops nanostructured materials to manufacture next- generation devices that enhance information processing, energy conversion, and human health. • Center for Neuroendocrine Studies conducts research on the relationships among hormones, the brain, physiology, and behavior. • Center for Research on Families supports natural, social and behavioral sciences research on issues relevant to families. • Climate Systems Research Center performs research relating to global climate change. • Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) combines expertise in polymer science, engineering, materials chemistry, and physics to create polymer-based materials for harvesting solar energy. • Experimental Farms (totaling over 620 acres) o Cold Spring Orchard Research and Education Center o Agronomy and Vegetable Research and Education Farm, South Deerfield o Hadley Farm Equine, Livestock, and Education Center o Joseph Troll Turf Research Center o UMass Cranberry Station • Fergus M. Clydesdale Center for Foods for Health and Wellness brings together scientists, educators, government agencies, and industry to identify solutions to food-related health issues. • Forest Properties (totaling over 2,000 acres) Adams Brook Forest; Cadwell Memorial Forest; Knight-Sabin Forest; Savage Hill Forest; Mt. Toby Forest. • Fueling the Future Center for Chemical Innovation (CCI) addresses research on fundamental aspects of proton transport to design better fuel cell membranes. • The Institute for Applied Life Sciences (IALS) provides interdisciplinary, entrepreneurial, and collaborative research through its three life sciences centers: o Center for Bioactive Delivery o Models to Medicine Center (M2M) o Center for Personalized Health Monitoring (CPHM) • The Institute for Massachusetts Biofuel Research (TIMBR) develops cost-effective technologies for producing ethanol, alternative fuels, and value-added materials from biomass. • Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT) enables dramatic scientific advances in many areas of astronomy using the world's largest single dish telescope operating at millimeter wavelengths; a collaboration between UMass Amherst and Mexico. • Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station administers and distributes Federal Experiment Station funds. • Massachusetts Center for Renewable Science and Technology (MassCREST) focuses on research for efficient solar and fuel cells, produces hydrogen from water, and converts biomass to hydrocarbon fuel and biofuels. • Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) focuses on interdisciplinary education and research in polymer science. • Northeast Climate Science Center, housed at UMass Amherst, is a consortium of seven institutions across the Northeast Region (as defined by the USGS), each contributing significant and unique expertise to the Northeast Region's climate challenge. • Water Resource Resource Center supports interdisciplinary research, education, and outreach efforts on water resources issues of state, regional, and national importance.
