Virtual Lab Tour of Worrilow Hall

  By gabacat • April 7, 2021 ,

After a recent redesign, Worrilow Hall opened its doors back up for students and staff in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR) to continue teaching and research. The new building features reconfigured learning rooms, updates labs and increased space for graduate students as well as expanded collaborative space for undergrad students. Additional spaces include lunch break rooms, lounge areas and conference room areas for students to comfortably and confidently study and continue with their research.

Access to the building and certain lab spaces require a valid UD ONEcard and traditional key access. Eating and drinking are prohibited in laboratories and only authorized personnel are permitted in research and shared equipment labs.

Take a look at our virtual tour of the building and lab spaces below!
