The story

The University of The Bahamas was established on 10 November 2016 following the Parliament of the Bahamas passing the University of The Bahamas Act which reorganized the College of The Bahamas into a university. The precursor College of The Bahamas was established in 1974 also by an act of parliament, and it was created through the merger of The Bahamas Teachers' College, The San Salvador Teachers' College, The C. R. Walker Technical College, and the Sixth Form Programme of the Government High School.

The centre (formerly The Bahamian Field Station) is used as a base camp for over 10,000 annual scientific researcher and student expeditions. The centre is currently run by Dr. Troy A. Dexter.

The Bahamas Environmental Research Centre (BERC), located in central Andros, opened in 1995 as a collaborative effort with George Mason University in Virginia and the people of Andros. The BERC's primary objective is to promote an understanding of current ecological issues.

The Marine and Environmental Studies Institute (MESI) is a multi-disciplinary research unit meeting national needs in scientific and technical research and community health. The institute was designed to build the nation's capacity for research, monitor marine and environmental resources and provide policy options for natural resource management. MESI partners with government ministries and international research institutions, provides leadership in program development in small island sustainability and provides year-round access to the unique sub-tropical ecosystems of the coastal, coral reefs, mangrove and sea grass communities in the Bahamas.

As part of a Sustainable Science Initiative (SSI), the Poultry Research Unit carries out research and training on sustainable tropical island agriculture and supports collaboration with counterparts with similar research foci and funding. The first phase was completed in 2004 with funding from the Freedom Foundation. The initiative is located on a 6-acre (24,000 m2) site southwest of the Oakes Field Campus at the Gladstone Road Agricultural Centre in New Providence.
