In addition to the secretariat, the CDIM has a room for CIAMB coordination meetings, which also serves as a classroom, some offices for teachers, a computer lab with Internet and other equipments.

The Graduate Program in Environmental Sciences also has an expressive laboratory structure that works in the several areas of knowledge. This structure, in addition to providing equipment, Internet infrastructure, databases resulting from years or decades of research, classrooms and meetings spaces, also provides the academic ambience necessary for the development of high-impact research. The laboratories involved in CIAMB are as follows:

	The Laboratory of Geomorphology, Pedology and Physical Geography (LABOGEF-IESA-UFG) is essentially aimed at research and teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in Geosciences, Water Resources and Environmental Sciences. The study focuses on Environmental Impacts on soils, relief, water resources and biotas, aimed at the development of advanced research. It also provides services, in response to the demands of federal, state or municipal government departments and agencies, as well as the actions of the public ministry, especially the state. The laboratory occupies an area of more than 125 square meters, where it maintains, in addition to administrative rooms, 4 analytical rooms, with facilities and equipment to carry out analyzes and studies of soils, sediments and water resources.
	The Image Processing and Geoprocessing Laboratory (LAPIG-IESA-UFG), has a total area of ​​700 square meters dedicated to disciplines related to ​​cartography, remote sensing and geoprocessing, and the development of postgraduate research, with rooms for students, Information Technology / Systems Development room, meeting room. Since 2014, using resources from the CAPES Pro-Equipment Program and partnerships with governmental and non-governmental institutions (such as ICMBio, MPGO, SANEAGO, WWF and TNC), LAPIG has been strengthening a new field of research, focused on for the use of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). Regarding Research and Study groups linked to the Laboratory, three research groups, being related to the mapping of pastures in Brazil, with the application of unmanned aerial vehicles in environmental analyzes and studies in wildfire science.
	The Laboratory of Analysis and Environmental Management of Water Resources (LAMARH-ICB-UFG). It has a constructed area of approximately 150 square meters, containing 1 office for two researchers, a reference collection room for benthic macroinvertebrates from the Cerrado of Goiás, a physical-chemical analysis room, a biological material screening and processing room, an experiment room and bioassays, and technical internet room. At LAMARH, qualitative and quantitative analyzes of aquatic organisms are carried out, mainly benthic macroinvertebrates, algae and cyanobacteria, from both lotic and lentic environments.
	The Laboratory of Extraction and Separation Methods (LAMES-IQ-UFG), occupies an area of approximately 700 square meters. Implemented with resources from the Sectorial Petroleum Fund (CTPETRO / FINEP-2001), LAMES has computers, internet, chapels, benches, refrigerators, a large amount of solvents, reagents, glassware and equipment, 2 gas chromatographs, equipped with FID and ECD detectors (HRCG), 1 gas chromatograph coupled to a selective mass detector (GC-MS), in addition to various other equipment for fuel analysis. It has USP reference standards for the fuels analysis, pesticides, linear polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons and medicines.
	The Science Teaching Research Center (NUPEC-IQ-UFG) develops research and extension activities, linked to the IQ-UFG. NUPEC participate in teacher training and undergraduate and master students in the teaching areas of the Institutes of Chemistry, Physics and Biology in addition to science teachers in Basic Education. NUPEC has a 600 square meter building, built with resources from FINEP and with resources from UFG itself. The building has a 10-meter-long teaching laboratory, with benches, lockers, a storeroom, a mini-auditorium, a classroom, a computer room for students, a meeting room for teachers, an internet center, and a center for exhibitions. It also has 5 offices for teachers in the area of ​​Chemistry Teaching. NUPEC has existed since 2004 and develops research and extension activities that bring together undergraduate and graduate students and that have resulted in numerous master's dissertations, doctoral theses and scientific initiation works, in addition to a vast scientific production registered in journals and presented national and international events.
	The Laboratory of Water Analysis (EECA-UFG), has an area of 75 square meters, containing 1 Laboratory for physical-chemical analysis, 1 Laboratory for Bacteriological Analysis and 1 Support Laboratory. In this Laboratory it is possible to carry out water analysis in general, mainly for water supply, and techniques for the extraction of environmental contaminants and activation of materials for the production of coal have also been developed by the laboratory. There are several equipments, including a DR 6000 spectrophotometer, 3 analytical scales, set for analysis of solids, incubator, greenhouse, water bath, turbidimeter, colorimeter, pH meter, conductivity meter, laminar flow hood, colony counter, autoclave, water purifier, distiller, muffle, dissolved oxygen probe, total organic carbon analysis equipment, furniture and glassware in general.
	The Hydraulics and Hydrology Laboratory (EECA-UFG) occupies an area of ​​approximately 200 square meters and has hydraulic, hydrological, climatic data collection and analysis equipment, as well as mapping equipment. This laboratory will soon be part of the Center for Studies in Hydrology and Geotechnics (CEHIGE): CEHIGE is under construction (CT-INFRA / FINEP) and will have, a total area of ​​approximately 1,000 square meters, being a space multidisciplinary that involves the following programs: Environmental Sciences, Geotechnics and Construction, Sanitary and Environmental Engineering and Geography. The Center will offer space to expand research in Water Resources with the possibility of building a 30 meters long channel with a piston wave hitter, study room for graduate students, high performance computer lab, mini auditorium , humid chamber, among others.
	At the Mutagenesis Laboratory (ICB-UFG) classic mutagenesis analyzes are produced, such as the analysis of micro, mono and binucleated cells in culture, aiming at the evaluation of genomic damage in humans and animals (bioindicator species, such as tadpoles). This laboratory has a complete set for collecting and analyzing genetic data and has established partnerships with other national reference laboratories in institutions such as PUC-GO (Goiânia), via Replicon Research Center, UCB (Brasília), UnB (Brasília) and Centro Children's Boldrini (Campinas, SP).
	The Laboratory of Environmental Microbiology and Biotechnology (LAMAB-IPTSP-UFG) covers an area of approximately 40 square meters. Currently the laboratory is in the building of the former Faculty of Pharmacy at UFG. In the laboratory, analyzes of environmental microorganisms and their biotechnological applications are carried out, mainly environmental applications such as bioremediation, production of enzymes and biodegradable surfactants and biomolecules with antibiotic and antitumor activity. It also features computer terminals connected to the internet, printer, scanner and complete set of equipment for collecting and analyzing microbiological data.
	The Laboratory of Molecular Phylogeny of Plants (LFMP-ICB-UFG) occupies an area of approximately 40 square meters. It is located in the ICB-1 building on the ground floor. In the laboratory, analyzes of the different species (new or not) of higher plants of the Cerrado are carried out, with practices of collection, fixation, exsiccates, cataloging, phylogenetic analysis of plants with Cerrado flowers. The laboratory has computer equipment, specialized bibliography, stereomicroscopes, microscopes, greenhouses, cartographic material, digital record, furniture with benches, chairs and various internet points, all in an air-conditioned environment. This professor develops a project on Leguminosae Diversity in the Brazilian Cerrado, which includes researchers from the Royal Botanic Garden, Kew, London.
