The department enjoys truly outstanding facilities. In addition to an extensive range of state-of-the-art equipped faculty research laboratories, the department of Psychology provides technical support staff and facilities that greatly enhance the quality of the work environment and increase the research possibilities open to faculty and students. The psychology department and the two biological science departments on the campus share a microcomputer facility (the Life Sciences Computer Facility), which serves graduate and undergraduate instructional and research needs within the three departments. The department has its own state of the art Departmental Computer Facility open to faculty and graduate students. Each faculty laboratory is linked with the Life Sciences Computing Facility, the UCSB Library, and on-linereference data bases, such as Medline and Current Contents, as well as the campus Molecular Modeling Computing Facility. There are workshops within the Psychology Building for metal, carpentry, and electronic fabrication. The Department houses a modern animal vivarium suitable for housing a variety of rodent species and a newly renovated central vivarium located in the Biological Sciences Building, equipped to accommodate a wide range of vertebrates, including primates. These outstanding facilities are complemented with the completion of the new Psychology Building (August 2006) adjacent to the existing building. Psychology East will house the department's administrative functions, faculty offices, conference and seminar rooms and a new state-of the-art Life Science Computer Facility (LSCF) as well as a undergraduate experimental classroom facility. In addition, our new building will provide space for a brain imaging center and an expanded Research Center for Virtual Environments and Behavior. Remodeling of the existing building includes updated laboratory facilities and graduate student and post-doctoral offices.
