The Biological Resources Facility (BRF) was established in 1997 to serve the research faculty of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) at NC State University. The BRF houses a multitude of research animals including mice, rats, voles, rabbits, frogs, fish and other aquatics, quail and reptiles.

About one-fifth of the space in the BRF is devoted to an Insectary, in which many types of insects are reared to aid investigators in the Department of Entomology. Other departments with research interests here include Animal Science; Environmental and Molecular Toxicology; Food Science; Genetics; Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences; Molecular and Structural Biochemistry; Microbiology; Population Health and Pathobiology; and Zoology.
