Dear Susanne I think that it is good that you have a critical eye for what is reported. I had a quick look at your list, and there may be some redundancies, see comments in your text. Furthermore, as far as I recall the guidelines, the facilities should be distinctive and of general interest. Offices, general labs, fields, greenhouses do not qualify for this, I think. If the greenhouses are to be included as a facility, for instance, I think the EFRC should provide a description of their distinctive character and general interest (e.g. organic prehistory or something like this).
