The University of Maine (Umaine) is the state's land grant university and sea grant college. Its mission is to be the state's center of learning, discovery and service to the public. Umaine is comprised of 158 buildings on 660 acres overlooking the Stillwater River. Located in Orono, Maine, Umaine was established as Maine's land grant institution in 1865 under the provisions of the federal Morrill Act of 1862, which provided each state with resources to establish a public state college.
