Field lab building available. This innovative building is available to facilitate teaching and research opportunities in the natural and environmental sciences, as well as in areas like education, art, journalism, and writing where immersion in the natural environment is valuable.

The field lab (completed in April 2009) is located near University Lake at the IURTP Griffy Woods property northeast of the IU golf course and IU Foundation. Read about the field lab and how to reserve the facility for your class, research, or event.

IURTP field lab receives LEED certification. The field lab building's environmentally sound features earned it the status of being the first building on the IU Bloomington campus to receive LEED certification. View a slide show of several of the field lab's "green" features.
