Marine Laboratory Building

Contributed By Kelso Marine

Hyperbaric chamber used in Tektite II program awaits placement inside 12,000-square-foot building at Kelso

Industrial District. Use of the building space was con- tributed by Kelso Marine, Inc.

A 12,000-square-foot air-conditioned building in the Kelso Industrial District at Galveston

Island on the Texas Gulf Coast now houses a laboratory of the South's most ambitious re- search program. The announcement was made by Col. Robert W. Martindale, deputy director for administration of the Marine Biomedical

Institute, jointly sponsored by the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston and

Texas A. & M. University.

Colonel Martindale said the one-story build- ing was contributed for indefinite use by Kelso

Marine, Inc. Laboratory equipment includes the hyperbaric (high pressure) chamber re- cently procured for the institute through a

National Science Foundation grant. The cham- ber, which can house four persons, will be used by the institute in its man-in-the-sea program.

The new laboratory facility is located in the center of the 70-acre Kelso Industrial District which is adjacent to Kelso Marine. The yard fronts Galveston Bay and the Intracoastal

Canal at Mile 355. Kelso Marine, a subsidiary of C. Brewer, Ltd. of Hawaii, is one of the nation's most modern barge building and re- pair yards. Recent Kelso projects include con- struction of oceangoing superbarges up to 480 feet long, as well as conventional size vessels for shoreline and inland use.

Rai Kelso, president of the marine complex, commented that he expects the research facili- ties of the Marine Biomedical Institute to make unique and significant contributions to the na- tional and international ocean programs.
