A short version of the science precinct tour, with 10 points to look at.

Whether you’re a new student at ANU or one who has been here for years, a lot of the intricate building designs go unnoticed. Our science and medicine facilities have fascinating histories, hidden sculptures and clever designs that mirror the science happening inside.

So come on a virtual journey around our science precinct.

The Fenner School is housed in Frank Fenner Building, Forestry Building, and Robertson Building. Find out more about the environmental and historical significance of our facilities.

The CanTEST Health and Drug Checking Service, commonly referred to as pill testing, is administered by Directions Health Services with technical support provided by our researchers at the Research School of Chemistry.

The ANU Battery Lab researches lithium-ion batteries, optimising their enabling materials, providing characterisation and testing and assessing recycling and reuse options.

The Joint Mass Spectrometry Facility (JMSF) was created in 2016 to consolidate and grow mass spectrometry facilities at the ANU. In partnership with CSIRO, the JMSF supports research in the Canberra region and across Australia.

Magnetic Resonance techniques have applications in all fields of the experimental sciences. It is the single most powerful method available to chemists for studying the composition, structure and function of molecules.

The Fenner School’s Wood Collection is used in forestry and wood science education and research. The collection has a high degree of historical and research significance. It contains material for resampling for investigative purposes by wood anatomists, archaeologists, anthropologists, furniture and decorative arts conservators, art historians and forensic scientists.

The Geophysical Fluid Dynamics laboratory is a purpose-built 400 sq. m laboratory for experimental fluid dynamics. This laboratory is designed for studies of fluid flow processes relevant to both solid earth geological processes and ocean-atmosphere dynamics.
