The most protected sites are generally forested, except for areas that have been affected by fires that introduced  an opening in the forest cover.

The total area of the buildings covers 50 m2, including 25 m2 of scientific laboratories. WHMIS training or its equivalent is required to use the laboratory. No storage of chemicals is permitted, all products must be returned after use. Basic equipment is available.
