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.

..."Right now, there are 13 faculty on the Knight Campus and that number will grow to around 30 when the new building is completed, Guldberg said.
Building 2 is part of the second phase of Knight Campus development and is made possible by a second $500 million gift from the Knights for the campus bearing their names. Guldberg said that donation will also pay for faculty and programs.
The Oregon legislature has approved $10 million to support technologies and equipment in the new Building 2.
The Knight Campus is made possible by a $500 million lead gift from Penny and Phil Knight in 2016, augmented with $70 million in state bonds.
Building 2 is scheduled to open in December 2025."

Hopefully, the design makes sense from both a usage and energy standpoint.
