Note
John von Neumann (Hungarian Margittai Neumann János Lajos) (December 28, 1903 – February 8, 1957) was an Austria-Hungary-born American mathematician who made contributions to quantum physics, functional analysis, set theory, topology, economics, computer science, numerical analysis, hydrodynamics (of explosions), statistics and many other mathematical fields as one of history's outstanding mathematicians (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_von_Neumann). This project included the construction of a complex of four major science buildings: the construction of a new Museum of Natural History and two smaller architecture studio buildings to replace dislocated facilities, and a remodel of a former science building for Architecture and Allied Arts, which lost about 15,000 net square feet of programmatic space to construction of the new science buildings. The project was completed between 1989-1991. <br><br> An interactive campus map of the University of Oregon may be viewed at: http://map.uoregon.edu/ Deschutes Hall, north facade
