Biology Section
The Biology Section of the ULL has an approximate area of 11,000 m²2 , of which 3000 m2 They are dedicated to gardens, outdoor patios and parking lots and the rest of the usable built area is distributed among spaces dedicated to the administration of the center, classrooms, study room and own services.
The Biology Department makes all its material resources and services available to the degree programs offered at the center. These resources are shared by all departments that teach in these degree programs, according to the specific needs and characteristics of the courses.
The facilities of the Section are distributed across several buildings or towers that house classrooms, practical laboratories, computer labs, and departments that teach the various degree programs offered at the center. The main entrance and the center's administrative offices are located on the ground floor, which also serves as a link between the different blocks that make up the Section.
The Biology Department has sufficient and adequate resources and facilities to deliver the Bachelor's Degree in Biology, the Master's Degrees in "Terrestrial Biodiversity and Island Conservation" and "Marine Biology; Biodiversity and Conservation," as well as the Doctoral Program in Biology. The Department regularly reviews the proper functioning and suitability of its resources and spaces, maintains the facilities, and acquires the necessary materials for normal operation.
The following describes, in a general way, the material resources available to the Section that ensure optimal development of the teaching it provides.
Classrooms
All classrooms in the Biology Department at the University of La Laguna are equipped to ensure effective teaching, accommodating the planned group sizes and adapting to the teaching and learning methodology. They all include a whiteboard, overhead projector, digital projector, projection screen, computer, and internet access. Larger classrooms also have sound systems.
The Center also has a Graduation Hall equipped as a Multimedia Classroom. The rules for its use are set out in the Annex to the Faculty's Internal Regulations.

The Chemistry and Biology Library houses the collections of the Chemistry and Biology Sections. It is located in the Chemistry Section building and has a usable area of 1,012 m².2, of which 642 m2 They correspond to the library and 370 m2 to the newspaper archive.
You can consult the Chemistry and Biology Library Guide at this link.
The library consists of a reading room with capacity for 210 students distributed in 48 tables as reading stations, 9 tables with 18 CLABE stations (computers with Internet connection and to consult the catalog) and 19 shelves with direct access monographs.
The periodicals library has a reading room with 24 seats, 16 of which are for reading and 8 for CLABE (Centralized Library System) workstations, a display case for the most recent periodicals, final year projects for Chemical Engineering students, and a storage area for current publications. Out-of-print publications are kept in a compact storage area located within the Chemistry Department.
The library has two offices for group work with 10 workstations and one CLABE workstation in each.
Regarding opening hours, the library is generally open from Monday to Friday from 8:15 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., with reduced hours during certain periods of the year, after prior notice to users.
On the Anchieta campus, you'll find the ULL-CajaCanarias Student Services Building, which serves as a 24-hour open study room.
The holdings of the Chemistry and Biology Library consist of approximately 20,000 volumes of monographs and 585 titles of periodicals in paper format.
The Chemistry and Biology Section library provides the following services:
Computer labs
The Biology Section has two computer labs with a capacity for a total of 50 users, located in tower 1 (basement). Both have a projector and screen, as well as printers.
The two classrooms are mainly intended for teaching, although, when the schedules allow, they are used for free use by the student (finishing practicals, typing papers, consulting the virtual campus, etc.).
Currently, the computer labs are staffed and maintained by a student intern, supervised by the Vice Dean of Academic Affairs. The rules for using these labs are set out in the Annex to the Faculty's Internal Regulations.
The Section also has a WiFi network in all its premises.
