\n H.H.J. Nesbitt Biology Building\n <\/h1>\n \n <\/header>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

The H. H. J. Nesbitt Biology Building (formerly the Environmental Laboratories Biology Annex (ELBA) is made up of climate-controlled greenhouses that contain one of the finest collections of plants for teaching and scientific study in Canada. The Nesbitt Building is state of the art with open architecture to foster collaborative work and invite interaction between scholars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design features such as open laboratories, lounges used by both students and faculty, and faculty offices clustered in a central area, promote an atmosphere of shared learning. This manifests itself in close faculty-student research collaborations, as well as friendships.
