SMAST
The
School for Marine Science and Technology is the marine campus of
the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. It is located in New Bedford, America's
premier fishing port. Scientists at the School for Marine Science and Technology
(SMAST) have expertise in ocean modeling and monitoring, fisheries science and
management, coastal systems science, ocean acoustics, biogeochemistry, remote
sensing, and ocean engineering. Research is supported by the School's two-story,
32,000-square-foot building and docking facilities on Clark's Cove which provide
access to Buzzards Bay. The adjacent former Naval Reserve Training Center building
is being added to the School's facilities, and a new Massachusetts Institute
for Marine Fisheries building will soon house joint DMF/SMAST research.

"What better way to give our students, New Bedford residents, and the growing number of visitors to the city the full flavor of the creative energy that is what the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth is all about." The Star Store was recently recognized with The Boston Society of Architects' Citation Award in Higher Education Facilities Design and The AIA/SCUP Excellence in Planning Award for outstanding design. |  |
