New Spaces & Campus Improvements
One of Oregon State University's greatest assets is its beautiful campus in Corvallis, designed at the turn of the century by the Olmsted Brothers landscaping firm, famous for spaces such as New York's Central Park and the U.S. Capitol and White House grounds. Today, our historic surroundings feature many facilities that date back 50 or 60 years or more, and they are not equipped to accommodate the technology, research tools, and flexible teaching and learning spaces that a modern university requires.
Over the past several years, OSU has begun to address the problem of aging infrastructure, creating landmark spaces that foster the kinds of collaboration, research, and learning that we value. Private revenue has covered at least half the total cost of nearly every new and renovated academic building on this campus over the past decade -- from the expansion and modernization of The Valley Library to the transformation of Weatherford Hall.
Over the next five years, OSU will complete several major capital projects and upgrade existing facilities and equipment. The end result will be a dramatic leap forward in the quality, capacity, and beauty of OSU's campus.
The Campaign for OSU seeks private support for several capital projects, campus improvements, classroom renovations, and specialized equipment. First-rate facilities have a direct impact on the quality of our teaching and research, and on our ability to attract top faculty members and students.
