Research Laboratory
The original building - built in 1914 - is still in use today. Additional teaching and research space was added over the years. Up to 8 people can be accommodated in two four-bunk rooms.
The Cass area provides a very wide range of environments - montane grasslands, scrub, riverbed, scree, beech forest, swamp, bog, lake, stream and alpine habitats can all be reached by day trips on foot.
In addition, day trips by vehicle can be made to the subalpine and alpine habitats of the Craigieburn Range or Arthurs Pass on the main divide of the Southern Alps, and to lowland and montane mixed podocarp-broadleaved forests of Westland.
