- Clatsop Community College has looked at expanding the Marine and Environmental Research and Training Station campus.
Clatsop Community College will hold an open house from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on May 3 at the Marine and Environmental Research and Training Station.
The campus hosts the college’s welding, automotive, firefighting, historic preservation and other career-technical programs.
With one of the only maritime science programs in the region, it is Oregon’s official maritime training college. The college is also planning an environmental science program based around the campus and surrounding wetlands.
All programs will feature displays and interactive demonstrations, such as a virtual welding machine. Representatives from the college’s criminal justice program, bookstore and admissions department will be on hand to answer questions. Classic cars and street rods will be on display, along with activities through the state Air National Guard.
The campus is at 6550 Liberty Lane in Astoria.
