Facilities and Housing

UNDERC boasts high-quality research and living spaces, including state-of-the-art research laboratories and comfortable cabins for researchers. Despite its remote location in the Michigan Upper Peninsula, UNDERC has outstanding facilities to support research and teaching programs. Nearly all of these facilities are new or newly remodeled. These include exceptional quality housing sufficient to accommodate up to 65 students and researchers, a research and teaching laboratory building, a lakeside wet laboratory building, a large enclosed storage and project construction facility, and a building for the storage of flammables and other chemicals.
