History of the Getting Building

By 1995, the staff of the St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center had grown to approximately 60 and construction began on the Getting Building, which opened in 1996. This building expanded the capabilities of the USGS to include more offices, a large sediment and coral laboratory, core archive space, electronics shop, workshop, and a loading and staging area for field research.
