Located just four miles south of campus at Redondo Beach and halfway between Seattle and Tacoma, the MaST Center, is dedicated to expanding knowledge about the Puget Sound and the surrounding environment through teaching, outreach, and research.

Our brand new, 2,500 square-foot facility, due to open early Summer 2008, situated on a 260-foot pier over the Puget Sound, will offer public space, classroom, laboratories, and office and research areas. With more than 2,000 gallons of flow-through saltwater tanks, holding more than 80 species of local marine life and easy access to a huge diversity of nearby habitats, and state-of-the-art equipment, the opportunity for research and education is almost limitless.
