Groundbreaking on new Dormitory
A groundbreaking ceremony was held for a new dormitory that will primarily house undergraduate interns. It addresses a critical need for on-campus living space. The new dormitory is expected to be ready by Spring 2027. This dormitory expansion will strengthen the Sea Lab’s ability to serve as the premier marine research and education institution on the Gulf Coast.
