Note
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 from 1989-1991. <br><br>An interactive campus map of the University of Oregon may be viewed at: http://map.uoregon.edu/ Streisinger Hall, alcove above stairway
