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. An interactive campus map of the University of Oregon may be viewed at: http://map.uoregon.edu/

The 'Nun's Garden' is one of a series of drawings I did following a year's residency in Japan. The series is my appreciation of the austerity and serenity of the Buddist Temples, grounds and gardens (Wehrle, 1989).
