The College of Mineral and Energy Reources has recently merged iwth the
College of Engineering at West Virginia University to form the new
College of Engineering and Mineral Resources. This merger has provided
the opportunity to readdress the mission of the COMER Museum, previously
of the College of Mineral and Energy Resource which was dedicated to
perserving the hisotory of the coal, oil, and natural gas industries in
the state of WV.
 Because the scope of the college has been broadened to cover all
aspects of enginering, and the museum storage area is full, I thought
this might be an opportunity to consider the possibilties of a science
and technology museum which could address needs of all departments and
of the community. It would allow for the development of a number of
outreach activites between the museum, college, and schools.

Has anyone any information on small scinece and technology centers at
universities?  Any information would be helpful.

Thanks.
