Test

The Earth, Environmental and Geographical Sciences (EEGS) classroom spaces, labs, and faculty offices span across two buildings: Weston Hall and The Science Building. These facilities host a combined GIS and a remote sensing lab. The lab features laptop docking stations, a wide-format plotter, and a mainframe server, as well as access to GIS and remote sensing software installed on NMU-issued laptops.

The EEGS Department is involved in creating and maintaining the Outdoor Learning Area just outside the science buildings. Extending learning off-campus, faculty and students visit the Upper Peninsula’s many rivers, streams, lakes, hills, and plains, as well as NMU’s Longyear Forest, a 120-acre woodland area located a few miles from campus. Students also actively learn along the shores of Lake Superior, the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area, which is a mere 10-minute walk from campus.

Outdoor Learning Area

Located just outside the doors of Weston Hall and The Science Building, the Outdoor Learning Area is the perfect place to come experience the natural beauty of the Upper Peninsula.  The OLA boasts gorgeous examples of native vegetation and wildlife. 

The OLA is managed by the EEGS Department, but for the use and enjoyment of all NMU students and faculty. This area can be used for ecological and biological studies, artistic inspiration, writing prompts, growing cultural understanding, or simply studying and lounging.
