Building User Groups

Four building on the new campus have been identified as needing major renovations to accommodate the academic and research programs, as well as maker spaces, classrooms, offices and technology of UO Portland. 

User groups have been assembled to help guide architects in their designs of the renovations. Members of the user groups serve as representatives to others in their department and/or building. Additional users, subgroups and space experts will be brought in as concepts become focused.
