The WHOCC is housed at the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine and in the Department of Geography and Anthropology at Louisiana State University. Currently the WHOCC has two research facilities:

1) The Research Lab is located in Howe-Russell E109. The lab is equipped with the latest GIS software and computing hardware for increased functionality and productivity. The LSU WHOCC personnel are proficient in multiple GIS platforms including the ESRI ArcGIS suite, Erdas Imagine, and Geomedia Professional. Additionally, the LSU WHOCC is a Registered Geomedia Research Laboratory in conjunction with the LSU CADGIS laboratory. Working with multiple public health organizations, institutions, and universities demands a need for “vendorless” GIS applications. WHOCC is proud of our inter-operability and multi-platform approach to GIS and Remote Sensing.

2) The PDA-GIS and Telemetry Lab is located adjacent to the Research Lab in E113. The lab is set up to design and support the field logistics for ongoing WHOCC projects. The PDA-GIS lab provides PDA and telemetry resources and technical support to the Department of Geography and Anthropology, the Coastal Fisheries Institute, and the International Aquatic and Terrestrial Conservation Medicine and Biotelemetrics Research Laboratory at the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine.
