The field station has state-of-the-art equipment, research library, greenhouses, and housing in close proximity to organisms in the field. These facilities are available for research and educational programs for students, faculty, and visiting scientists.

• The McCarthy Laboratories:
  The McCarthy Labs are housed in a, 2900 sq.ft, wood framed buildiing on Calder Lake.  Laboratories include a complete analytical chemistry area, microscope lab, offices, and animal care room.  Laboratories are equipped with growth chambers, a nutrient autoanalyzer, gas chromatograph, HPLC, carbon-nitrogen analyzer, fluorescence and phase microscopes, spectrophotometers, autoclaves, electronic balances, and a complete array of sampling gear. 

• Calder Hall:
  Calder Hall is a 13,000 sq.ft, 27 room, stone mansion, which was formerly the Calder Family residence, built in the early 1900's.  Today it is used as an educational and research facility with modern workspaces and full ADA / wheelchair access.  It contains: two seminar rooms, a teaching laboratory, research library, herbarium, insect collection, research laboratories / staff offices for 4 faculty memebers, student study area, a full kitchen & dining area, as well as guest rooms for visiting scientists.

• Lakeside Lodge:
  This turn of the century, 2600 sq.ft, log cabin is located on the shouth shore of Calder Lake.  One of the original buildings on the property, this building is fully winterized and serves as the main administrative office and mailroom for the Calder Center.  The lodge also houses a lunchroom, computer facilities, and a quiet study area for students; while the ground floor provides an equipment storage area and a lake-connected boathouse.  An outside dock, adjacent to the Lodge, also provides boat access to Calder Lake. 

• Experimental Lake Facility
  

  The field station maintains a lakewater-fed experimental lake facility consisting of 26 large (5400L) mesocosms used for experimental studies on trophic interactions and biogeochemistry, and are used by researchers and instructors.

• Greenhouses:
  Two large, temperature controlled greenhouses currently used for both plant and aquatic ecology experiments

• Routh House
  The Routh House is a 5 bedroom brick building constructed by Joseph Routh in the 1970's.  Joseph Routh donated funds to Fordham University to establish an endowment in support of the research station.  The Routh House is now used by the university for the Campus Ministry program and the Calder Summer Undergraduate Research program (CSUR).
