FOREST SCIENCES CENTRE

The Forest Sciences Centre is one of the most beautiful building at the UBC Vancouver Campus. It was completed in 1998 and it is a showcase of our beloved Canadian forest products. The Atrium is structured by tall wooden columns resembling "trunks" which support a skylight roof to recreate the feel of a forest canopy. 

RESEARCH within our faculty 

There is a wide breadth of research happening in the laboratories at the Forest Science Center. Our forestry professors study topics going from tree rings, integrated remote sensing, bioenergy, conservation genetics to African conservation & development and advance wood processing. Visit their laboratory websites to learn more about their research, and possible work or volunteer related opportunities.
