The Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine offers public tours of its facilities on a limited basis by appointment only. Hospital clients and patients are our first priority, so tours are not a hands-on experience. We must also be mindful of biosecurity, liability, patient confidentiality and operational issues, therefore the following restrictions have been implemented.
Tours are led by students who must return to class by 1 pm; therefore, if you arrive later than 12:10 pm for a tour, it might be cancelled. A tour takes about 45 minutes and includes the small and large animal hospitals, the diagnostic laboratory, and the teaching facilities. We reserve the right to exclude individuals from a tour due to biosecurity issues, or due to failure to comply with their tour guide's instructions.
Tours for prospective students, which include a meeting with our director of admissions, should be made with Tess Collins by calling 541-737-6985 or emailing Tess.Collins@oregonstate.edu.

There is no visitor parking at Magruder Hall. Metered parking and pay lots are available around Reser Stadium. There is a campus shuttle bus that runs every 10 minutes. To obtain a parking permit, or for a map of metered parking, visit the Parking Services website.
