The St. Jones Center for Estuarine Studies (SJCES) is a state owned and operated environmental education/research facility located at 818 Kitts Hummock Rd, Dover, DE 19901 (off Rt. 9, about 1 mile on the right past the John Dickinson Mansion). The center features public areas of a foyer, two classrooms that can be combined into an auditorium and a wet-lab classroom.

Because the purchase and construction of the SJCES was federally funded, there will be no rental charges for reserve programs that involve and/or promote estuarine research or education. A modest rental charge will be assessed (and reinvested in the SJCES program and facilities) for use of the center by other educational, governmental, natural resource and non-profit groups. The center is not available for private parties, or for use by any group not falling into the aforementioned categories. Reservations will be scheduled on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Please call us at (302) 739-3436 for more information.
