The 90,000-square-foot Horticulture/Forest Science Building contains modern, spacious research and teaching laboratories with the latest scientific equipment and a growth chamber complex. The Department of Horticultural Sciences has 50,000 square square feet of greenhouse space for research in floriculture, vegetable and fruit crop production and breeding. Vegetable and orchard production and breeding take place on 30 acres of Brazos River alluvial flood plain. Researchers study container and field nursery production in a 7-acre field lab with lathhouse.

The University offers other major facilities to support study and research. The Sterling C. Evans Library, with more than 2 million volumes and 4.5 million micro- forms, is planning a major expansion. Computing and Information Services is one of the most sophisticated computer facilities at any university, offering mainframe computers, including a Cray supercomputer, linked to a campus- wide network. The network provides access to computer systems nationwide as well as in other countries. The Department of Horticultural Sciences has its own microcomputer lab with capabilities in graphics, image processing, slide making, interactive video and scanning.
