In 2006, FAU opened the FAU/Harbor Branch Marine Sciences Building—a 40,000-square-foot, joint-use facility housing specially equipped marine science labs, classrooms and video-conferencing equipped meeting rooms—at the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution's 600-acre site in Fort Pierce, Fla. The building provides students with undergraduate and graduate degree opportunities, with classes offered in marine biology, marine science, marine biotechnology, natural resources and environmental education. It is also currently home to the Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies while the organizations permanent Treasure Coast facility is built.
The University is currently finalizing plans to bring Harbor Branch under the umbrella of FAU as a research institute capping a more-than-10-year partnership in marine science research and education. Find out more about the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution.
