The Columbia Environmental Research Center is planning a $7 million overhaul of its labs and offices in southeast Columbia.

The U.S. Geological Survey in Columbia researches the effects of water quality on aquatic organisms and river science, said Michael Mac, the center’s director. The effectiveness of these studies will be improved with more adequate facilities, he said.
