A field station of the Iowa's three state universities, the Iowa Lakeside Laboratory offers hands-on courses for college students and learning opportunities for all ages.
Lakeside Lab has has provided summer classes and research opportunities to college students since 1909. As a Regents Resource Center, Lakeside also offers programs in lifelong learning for all people of northwest Iowa with many designed for children and several for adults. The Friends of Lakeside Lab, its non-profit partner, provides valued support.
Although education is Lakeside's primary function, it also serves as a nature preserve and historic district. The north part of campus is being restored to prairie, while other areas are wooded. The Lab has 12 structures on the National Register of Historic Places, including five stone classrooms built by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The grounds are open during daylight hours, and guests are welcome.
Its mission is twofold: 1) to provide science classes and research opportunities for university students,
and 2) to offer public programs and provide services through the state universities.
