The construction of Cascade Hall, which opened in 1990, prompted the alteration of the concrete exterior of the 1964 annex to the Infirmary (1936), which was repurposed and renamed Volcanology in 1968. The annex included on its east side a relief called "Scientific Symbols" designed by Spokane artist Harold Balasz. A brick facing with tile adornment, compatible with Cascade's design, was created to frame the relief which includes a variety of symbols, including those associated with religion.

Autzen Stadium, costing approximately $3 million, and taking only nine months to build, was creatively designed within an artificial crater, avoiding the need for multilevel ramps. The 41,000 seat stadium was named for the Autzen Foundation, headed by UO alumnus Thomas Autzen, who contributed to the project. In 2003, the $90 million expansion of the 1967 facility increased capacity from 41,700 to 58,000 seats.
