The Sound School is located right on the waterfront of the New Haven Harbor in the City Point section of the City of New Haven. The Aquaculture Science and Marine Technology courses that are offered at the Sound School and the availability of various vessels ranging in size from 16 feet to 50 feet make New Haven Harbor the outdoor classroom for the school. The new George Foote Aquaculture center Building also contains many science labs that were designed and built in accordance with the industry standards to permit both instruction and research to be carried out in all of them.

The research work that needs to be done can be accomplished by Sound School staff and students serving as primary investigators and research assistants working in collaboration with scientists from other government agencies (EPA, CT DEP, NOAA Marine Fisheries, CT Agriculture Department- Aquaculture Lab) and nearby academic institutions (University of New haven, Yale University, University of Connecticut, Sacred Heart University) using our labs and vessels and the facilities of the partners.
