I was in the OE program from 81-84. Those buildings were a mess 40 years ago. My understanding is that grants for research will pay for part of staff salaries and equipment. Tuition may pay for part of salaries, supplies, and equipment.

Buildings and major infrastructure improvements come from sources like this bond. The dock for the research vessel that replaces the Endeavor was paid for by previous state bond money. With the new pier in place, the federal government brings the new ship to the Bay campus, rather than to other locations like Woods Hole.

A lot of it has to do with GSO owning the OE buildings and leasing them to Engineering Department since OE doesn’t fall under GSO. So GSO prioritized all their shiny buildings first and left sheets and Middleton to rot
