Abstract
The development of a program of optical physics research involving undergraduates is described. Some of the problems encountered by college teachers trying to maintain a research program are discussed. A Physics Tower that has been uniquely designed for work in optical physics is discussed in considerable detail. The optical physics facilities include two domes for housing telescopes, one dome housing an optical tracker, two domes housing a coelostat system, dark tunnel, sun telescope, and spectroscopic and radiometric laboratories. Radiation from the sun can be directed throughout the Physics Tower.
