Tours

Want to tour a facility at University Park, or arrange a tour for someone else?

The Huck Institutes’ facility directors are glad to assist with scheduled tours for potential faculty hires and student recruitment. However, due to the heavy workloads in our facilities, we must request that the tours be set up in advance. Most of our facility directors cannot accommodate “drop in” tours since they are working on time sensitive research projects for faculty.

Procedure for setting up facility tours

Contact the facility director to schedule the tour. We request a one week notice prior to the potential visit (earlier if possible). Or, if you prefer, you can contact Megan Matthews to make your arrangements.
