The Oregon Institute of Marine Biology offers on-campus housing in five family cottages, a four-unit apartment building, a single bedroom cabin, and a studio apartment on offer to visitors, whether visiting for teaching, research, or scholarship.

Demand is highest in the summers, when most classes are taught by outside faculty. Due to high enrollment of students in summer, visiting faculty and seminar speakers receive priority when determining housing availability. Contact Laura Screen for any housing inquiries.

Common Facilities

Visiting researchers can expect access to a variety of campus lab resources, including the stockroom, mud room, an outdoor seawater “tank farm” and the Tyler Aquarium (indoor seatables adjacent to Emlet lab).

Office and Connectivity

A small number of offices upstairs in the Rippey Library may also be reserved by visiting scholars. OIMB has a full-speed internet connection and provides secured wireless access throughout most of the campus. Photocopiers, scanners, and printers, are available in the Rippey Library. The library also provides a few common-use computer terminals with a limited selection of software, mostly as needed for class use.
