Robertson Life Sciences Building

The Robertson Life Sciences Building is an LEED certified research center located in the South Waterfront. The building offers combined educational resources for the PSU and OHSU communities, in addition to a brand new bike garage facility that is available to students, faculty, and staff.

Location

The RLSB is located at 2730 SW Moody Ave (approximately 3/4 of a mile from the PSU Main Campus).

Lectures offered in RLSB have a start time that is offset 15 minutes from the common PSU Time Grid to allow students to accommodate for travel time.

Parking options at RLSB are limited, so we strongly suggest taking transit, walking, or biking as preferred choices for accessing the building.
