Science Warehouse Science Warehouse is an electronic market place, in other words a web site which hosts a catalogue of items on behalf of the University; the items are from contracted suppliers who have agreed to place their catalogue (or part of their catalogue) on the Science Warehouse web site for authorised University staff to order from.
