The new teaching lab is now available for undergraduate practicals, starting with a second year practical on the effects of morphogens on plant development. The lab has relocated to the space formerly occupied by the Herbarium, and represents an investment of £1.2 million in teaching facilities. The audio-visual equipment represents a significant upgrade to the previous facilities, with 6 large screens that can be independently controlled and connected to laboratory equipment such as microscopes for demonstrations. The refurbishment project also included providing wheelchair access to the lab and lecture theatres, so Plant Sciences teaching facilities are now fully accessible to all.
