OAK CREEK LABORATORY

The Oak Creek Laboratory of Biology is located 4 miles west of the Oregon State University Corvallis campus. A complex of ten buildings are positioned at the southern entrance to MacDonald-Dunn Forest off of NW Oak Creek Drive. The buildings were formerly used for studies of aquatic ecology and toxicology, but water supply limitations have forced the move of such studies to other facilities. The buildings are now used for storage and research activities of three faculty and several graduate students from the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife.

Currently, most activities are limited to the main building, which possesses office space, a conference room, kitchen, attic, and basement. The building has one phone line and an Ethernet connection. The former chemistry lab is being cleaned up and will be used for other research activities. Other buildings are now used for storage.

We have been working to revitalize this great site. Most of the Robinson lab group has office space here.
