Facilities:
On-campus housing: OIMB has dormitories that can house 50 people and has an additional five family cottages, a four-unit apartment building, and a studio apartment. Demand is highest in the summers, when most classes are taught by outside faculty. Due to high student enrollments in summer, visiting faculty and seminar speakers receive priority when determining housing availability. Contact Laura Screen for any housing inquiries
Teaching Laboratory: There are 5 teaching labs on campus that each accommodate 24 students and are equipped with sea tables and running sea water. Microscopes and projection equipment can be arranged.
The R/V Megalopa: A 48-food aluminum hull trawler, which can be rented for class use.
Collecting permits: If you plan to collect invertebrates, you must obtain a collecting permit from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Applications are at https://apps.nmfs.noaa.gov/index.cfm
Teaching Opportunities: Classes in the OIMB summer session are taught by visiting faculty. Faculty who would be interested in teaching a course during the summer should contact Maya Watts to discuss this possibility.
