Operated by Oregon State University, the Hatfield Marine Science Center researches many different marine conditions from tsunamis to commercial fishing. This small concrete utility building houses pumping controls for moving water in some of the special facilities, and it has visual displays and testing equipment to monitor the condition of the water in the system. Additionally, an emergency eye-washing station was included along with other special utilities and drainage. Over 300 people work at this 49 acre research facility right off Yaquina Bay.
