UO’s Knight Campus reveals design of second science building and new engineering program

The University of Oregon’s Knight Campus has released design details of its second science building now under construction. The sprawling facility will enable the evolution of a new bioengineering program at the U of O.

After two years of planning and a $500 million cash infusion from Phil and Penny Knight, the 185,000-square-foot research building is going up. Artist renderings depict open air classrooms, labs and “maker’s spaces” for students to invent and build prototypes.
