University of Oregon, Straub Hall

The University of Oregon saw enrollment grow by approximately 25 percent over five years with the addition of 5,000 new students. This increase in student enrollment accelerated the needs for new, modern classrooms and the renovation and expansion of Straub and Earl Hall accommodates more than half of the students added to campus in recent years. Overall, the project adds 20,000 square feet to the building to deliver a total of 103,000 square feet of much-needed academic space. Reflecting a commitment to sustainability, what was originally a men’s dorm built in 1928 is now a LEED Gold, modern teaching and learning facility complimented by state-of-the art audio-visual equipment.
