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: The cost to rent the seminar room for non-OSU groups for a full day is $50.
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 Diving Safety Office. Please submit a facilities request form or contact the field station via email or phone to schedule a time for tank fills. Advanced notice is appreciated to ensure a staff member is available to complete the service.
Fee: $5 per tank
