Environmental Science

The John T. Huston-Dr. John D. Brumbaugh Nature Center is located six miles south of the campus. The 126-acres of woodland, including 27-acres of old growth beech maple forest, provide a nature preserve for plant and animal populations native to northeastern Ohio. The land, donated to the College by Dr. John D. Brumbaugh in honor of his grandfather, Mr. John T. Huston, will be used in perpetuity as a center for environmental education. The preserve, used as an outdoor teaching laboratory for the natural sciences, also supports many faculty/student research projects. The Dr. John D. Brumbaugh Visitors Center, completed in 1991, provides classroom and laboratory space and an information resource for students and other visitors.
