The laboratories are located on level 3 of the Steele Building (Building 3).
They’re equipped for palynology, soil science and radiolarians as well as physical geography.
The teaching laboratory can accommodate 40 students and suits individual or group work. Integrated computers are located on each bench, and equipment includes:
- sieve shakers

The integrated research laboratory is fitted with fume hoods for chemical extractions, microwave digestion, scanning electron microscopes and total organic carbon, nitrogen and sulphur analysers.
