The EMEND Research Facility was established in 2005 with funding from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation, the primary EMEND industry partners (Mercer and Canfor) and the University of Alberta. The Facility is a logistical base for field work conducted at the EMEND research site and is available for use by all EMEND researchers.

Facilities include indoor and tent accommodations, showers, shared washrooms, catered meals, lab space and wireless internet access.  The Research Facility is located on an old homestead and is an enjoyable place to spend the summer in good company.

The EMEND Research Facility is located approximately 45 minutes Northwest from Peace River, Alberta.
