Through new course offerings, co-teaching models, student field trips, and research collaborations, we will connect UMass Amherst faculty and students to research and development projects developed with local, state, and industry partners, in direct response to stakeholder-identified needs.
Catalyzing research partnerships and immersive student learning experiences, lodging along with new lab, office, teaching, and conference spaces, as well as regular transportation between Amherst and Gloucester, will enable students to stay for a night or for a season.
Guided by our strategic plan, For a Resilient Future: 2025–2030, GMS is entering an exciting era of growth and development.
Investment from UMass and the Commonwealth has fueled the first phase of infrastructure improvements: a new dock, a Living Seawall, and outdoor research and education areas—foundational infrastructure to support resilient research and development opportunities.
