Environmental Control for Organismal Research (ECOR) Laboratories

The ECOR Labs (Environmental Control for Organismal Research Laboratories) are a new Core Facility at the University of Montana providing scientists with the ability to independently control and manipulate light, temperature, humidity, CO2, and other factors. A core group of University of Montana faculty from the Division of Biological Sciences (DBS) and the Franke College of Forestry and Conservation (FFCFC) contributed to the effort to establish the ECOR Labs, with generous funding from the Murdock Charitable Trust and matching funds from the University of Montana Office of Research and Sponsored Programs. The ECOR facilities may be used by all faculty, students, and staff at the University of Montana, as well as regional scientists (as space allows).
