- Note
- Maria Sk?odowska-Curie (born Maria Sk?odowska; November 7, 1867 – July 4, 1934) was a physicist and chemist of Polish upbringing and, subsequently, French citizenship. She was a pioneer in the field of radioactivity, the first twice-honored Nobel laureate (and still the only one in two different sciences) and the first female professor at the University of Paris (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Curie). 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/ Willamete Hall, facade
