Expanding our campus
We are please to announce that the new 34,000-square-foot housing project Higher Ground Housing will be open for the Fall 2025 term and we are now accepting applications. This facility is designed to accommodate primarily upper division and graduate students and visiting professionals and staff studying or working at Hatfield. The complex was conceived as a response to the housing shortage in the Newport area, and it will ease a portion of the local housing demand.
There are 72 studio-style apartments and five two-bedroom family units in the Higher Ground complex plus it is a quick walk from the Hatfield campus and located outside of the tsunami zone.
On the Leading Edge
The Hatfield Marine Science Center is a distinguished marine laboratory located in Newport, Oregon.
Since 1965, Hatfield has been a hub for coastal research and serves as an oceanographic research base for six state and federal agencies. Hatfield is also home to Oregon State University’s Marine Operations which includes research vessels, marine tech and support services.
At Hatfield, we excel in student research opportunities and experiential instruction. We host a thriving summer internship program and offer an array of academic programs for students in K-12, plus community college through post-doc levels.
