Classroom/Seminar Room
The Science & Education Building offers meeting space for partners to host workshops, community meetings, seminars, or other types of gatherings. The room can comfortably fit 20 people arranged at tables in a workshop style setting. For seminars or presentations, the room can comfortably fit 30-40 people arranged in rows of chairs.
The room is equipped with a media cart consisting of a 72" screen connected to a desktop computer and equipped with a camera and audio system. The set-up is ideal for hybrid presentations, allowing users access to stream meetings with an in-person and online audience. Alternatively, users can connect their laptops to the screen to share presentations and other media to in-person audiences.
Rental Fee: There is a cost to rent the seminar room for non-OSU groups.
Scuba Air Fill Station
The field station offers the only public scuba tank fill service on Oregon's southern coast. We provide air fills to all certified divers for scientific, commercial, and recreational diving provided that your scuba tank is up-to-date on its visual (yearly) and hydrostatic (every 5 years) inspections. The air fill station is operated under OSU's Scientific Diving Program. Please contact them for more information.

We offer wet and dry lab space for visiting researchers, students, and other partners. The wet lab is equipped with stainless steel countertops with drainage, making it an ideal spot to process and/or rinse wet samples. Please note, the wet lab does not have access to running seawater. The dry lab is equipped with three workstations for additional sample processing and analysis.
We also have a standard chest freezer available for temporary sample storage, drying space for wet field gear, and limited laboratory supplies available.
