Located in Ranomafana National Park, NamanaBe Hall was inaugurated in July 2012 and harbors research facilities, dorms and conference rooms. 
There is little precedent anywhere in the world for research facilities this sophisticated in such a remote, scientifically rich location. At the moment, NamanaBe Hall features the following:

  • New labs equipped with fume hoods, deep freezers (-80C and -25C), spectrophotometer, microscopes, will expand biodiversity research
  • New bio-safety level 2 lab enables infectious disease research
  • A molecular biology lab facilitates research at a new level
  • Micro CTscanner provides new dimensions to morphology
  • Computer lab with high-speed internet connection will enable real-time information transfer between scientists on site and the rest of the world
