The Hatfield Marine Science Center (HMSC) has several types of shared spaces available for mission related activities. Shared spaces include meeting rooms, classrooms, labs, and an auditorium. Fees may apply.
The mission of the Hatfield Marine Science Center is to advance the mission of Oregon State University and its partner agencies though collaboration and innovation. As OSU’s campus for research, education, and outreach in marine and coastal sciences, and through its partnerships, HMSC improves scientific understanding of marine systems, coastal processes and resources, and applies this knowledge to social, economic, and environmental issues.
Academic programs for HMSC staff and students have priority use of all HMSC meeting rooms. Co-located partners (OSU, ODFW, USFWS, NOAA, MOP-P, USDA, USGS and EPA) may request rooms for mission-related activities on a space available basis. Occasionally meeting rooms may be rented by outside groups for mission-related activities with approval of the Director’s office.
Please be aware, we are expanding by adding a new campus building and construction noise is a possibility. We apologize for any disturbance or inconvenience.
To Book a Meeting Room:
Important Note: Hatfield Marine Science Center is located in a tsunami inundation area. In the event of an earthquake, a tsunami may be triggered and your group must reach an evacuation point within 15 minutes. The closest evacuation point is the high ground at the south base of the Yaquina Bay Bridge, about a 10 minute walk from HMSC. Thus it is strongly suggested that the organizers of any group using HMSC facilities brief their group on the HMSC evacuation plan at the start of their meeting. For more information please contact the HMSC Meeting Room Coordinator or check out the HMSC tsunami preparedness link.
