$10M for an academic building, from a generous UO alum and spouse. “Around the 0” has the story, here.

    Awesome. I’m very grateful for their gift.

    1 quick question. Am I to assume that as this building will house CAS, that PLC is been replaced/leveled?

      One can only hope. Just remember: the best part about being in the PLC is that you don’t have a view of the PLC.

      That would be up to Poseidon, god of earthquakes.

        Not funny. The thought of being in the PLC during an earthquake is terrifying.

    UO is truly blessed to have supporters like the Tykeson’s.

    No, the part about housing CAS must be a typo. 50K square feet is too small.

      maybe they mean some of the CAS admin

    “You’re on this planet to enjoy, contribute, make a difference, lead a fulfilling life and have fun along the way, and I think a liberal arts education helps equip you very well for that.”

    This really got to me. In this day and age, seeing a major donor defend the value of a liberal arts education and put their money behind it — gives me a lot of hope.
