Classrooms, labs and libraries
Headquarters
The course venue is in Ravenna.
Lessons and other teaching activities, with the exception of fieldwork, take place in Via Sant'Alberto n. 163.
The complex is used by the Environmental Science degree course and the Master's degree courses in Environmental Sustainability Science and Technology and Marine Biology.
- Lectures hall (via Sant 'Alberto 163): the classrooms and the computer lab;
- Laboratory of Environmental Sciences "Renzo Sartori" (via Sant 'Alberto 163): the research laboratories, the teachers' offices and an area used as a study room and, during lunch hours, as a refreshment point;
- ITAS (via dell'Agricoltura 5): the building is used for the most part by a secondary school (agricultural institute), but there are some areas used by the University which host research laboratories. There is also a car park.
After the conclusion of expansion work, which is expected to be completed in time for a.y 2024/25, new teaching laboratories will become available, in addition to the existing classrooms that are not currently accessible.

Laboratories
Two different types of laboratories are available:
Training:
- Analytical chemistry laboratory, ITAS, ground floor;
- Molecular biology laboratory, ITAS, first floor: 12 workstations;
- Experimental naturalistic biology laboratory, ITAS, first floor: 12 workstation;
- Digital microscopy laboratory, ITAS, first floor: 16 workstations;
As of the next academic year, the teaching laboratories will be relocated to the newly built premises in the classroom block and access to the computer laboratory equipped with 16 PCs will be restored.
Research:
Inside the “Laboratori di Scienze Ambientali "Renzo Sartori" building there are numerous laboratories where research is carried out on environmental applications of various disciplines, such as biology, ecology, chemistry, physics, earth sciences.In these labs it is possible for students to carry out their thesis work.They are also occasionally used for practice.
Study rooms
Inside the “Laboratori di Scienze Ambientali "Renzo Sartori", first floor: study area with tables (58 seats). There are 2 PCs connected to the University network. It is also possible to access the Internet with personal devices via ALMAWIFI, the University's wireless network. The space can be used as a refreshment area, equipped with microwave ovens from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.
