CNS is a great science facility. The various labs and classrooms really promote working together with other students and with faculty. My favorite place here is the greenhouse, which has incredible plants indigenous to upstate New York, as well as amazing tropical species.

The Center for Natural Sciences, built in 1992, offers 125,000 square feet of office, classroom, and laboratory space. Supporting biology, chemistry, and physics work, the facility helps promote a level of student-faculty interaction rarely found at the undergraduate level.
The building was designed with input from the science faculty. Their suggestions helped create a facility that promotes cutting-edge scientific research and is ready for future growth, a major plus for a school that often receives substantial private and government research grants.
Faculty-student collaboration is an Ithaca hallmark. Professors and their students often conduct field research together, even publishing papers jointly. Recent adventures include field studies on water balance in trees in the dry forest of Brazil and an ecotoxicological data survey in the Arctic.
