Research Centers & Institutes
Institute of Caribbean Studies
The Princeton Tropical Agriculture & Research Center
This research facility at UCU is committed to protecting
and improving tropical agriculture on the ISLAND and the
region.
Generic engineering, conventional and organic methods
are studied to meet the challenges caused by pests,
diseases, and climate changes.
Biotechnology projects range from pineapple nematode
resistance to ornamental flower production. While most
project will be design to help CW Sustainable Farms and
the ISLAND crops such as banana, papaya and orchids.
There will be the potential to transfer the technology
to other countries where tropical crops are vital. This
center conducts research on sustainable agriculture
system and pest management programs in support of the
ISLAND and the region agriculture .
Project will focused on controlling or eradicating fruit flies.
Institute of Marine Biology & Undersea Research
This 78,000 sf new teaching laboratory addition for
chemistry and biology studies is currently in design.
The program includes an additional 24,000 sf of shell
space for future research use. Instructional labs will accommodate 24 students with 8 student work stations at
each 3 lab bench. This configuration enables students to work effectively either individually or in groups of 2 or 4 depending on their assignments.
Jose Maria De Hosto Library
A total of 45,000 sf state of the art library for the cost of $9 million.
Non-main campus
UCU intends to operate in various locations outside of its
main campus.
On the Caribbean World but away from the main campus:
- The Bill Clinton Biological Preserve is a 1,200-acre (490 ha)
natural reserve owned by the university and used by wildlife
biologists for research
- The Caribbean World Agriculture Lands is a facility operated by the UCU Department of Agriculture
- The Marine Biology Research Institute is research center operated by UCU

The Haiti Research Institute
This Research Institute will be world class with forward
thinking inside and out.
The 101,060 sf gross anatomy, cell biology, biology,
and pathology labs as well as a morgue, bio imaging
research/teaching facility.
The Institute will bring together researchers in physics,
in an integrative research practice that attempts to
visualize molecular and physiologic tissue properties with
unprecedented specificity and in a noninvasive manner.
UCU Research Complex by Apple
The 2-story, 42,000SF Marine Science research building
will feature three modular components housing
laboratories, support space and offices, and two
architectural “knuckles”, or corner areas, accommodating
additional research support space.
