2/25/2010: Not much worth posting lately. That’s a good thing. Also good, the legislature is letting us sell bonds for a new 451 bed dorm “residence hall”. What do they call them at Hogwarts?

Senate funds University of Oregon residence hall — Daily Journal of Commerce (The first step toward increasing the percentage of University of Oregon students living on campus, according to Gregg Lobisser, UO’s director of student activities, is to stop calling student living facilities ‘dormitories.’ “When people think of dorms, they think of barracks,” Lobisser said. “The term residence hall speaks more to a new model we are exploring that integrates academics with residential life.” The next step in the process is to construct a new 451-bed residence hall. The state Legislature on Tuesday approved Senate Bill 5564, which allows the state to sell $75 million in bonds to build the hall designed by Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects on the east end of UO’s campus. But the new living facility is only the beginning of a long-term plan for the portion of undergraduates living on campus to reach 25 percent.)

One of the concerns about borrowing $235 million for the arena, according to the experts at Accredited Debt Relief, was that we’d bump up against a debt limit – looks like that’s not a problem, yet.
