Located on UNH’s West Campus, the Jere A. Chase Ocean Engineering Lab boasts state-of-the-art technology. An addition, completed in the fall of 2017, added 12,000 sq. ft. to the building. This expansion includes six large labs and office space for the new undergraduate ocean engineering program, nine new offices for Center personnel, and a new shared 80-seat amphitheater-style classroom. Facilities in Chase include acoustic and waveform test tanks, labs and highbays, and a host of research vessels for field research.
Only 15 miles from the Durham campus in New Castle, NH, the 325-foot Marine Research Pier provides berthing for UNH research vessels and access to the open waters of the Gulf of Maine.

Research Vessels
The Gulf Surveyor vessel provides versatility for instrument deployment and cabin space to house students, researchers, and navigation crew. It carries life rafts and EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons), electronic navigation systems based on GPS, and radar. The Center employs a permanent captain and a permanent first mate.
In addition to the Gulf Surveyor, the Center also has a shallow water mapping research vessel, the twin-hulled catamaran Zego Boat, and a fleet of autonomous surface vehicles, notably the ASV BEN and the DriX.
