The Alumni Center will be the new home for the Alumni Association, UO Foundation, and Development offices. The facility will provide a healthy, collaborative working environment for the departments and will accomodate a variety of meeting and social spaces to serve as a welcoming center for alumni, students, and other friends of the university. It will be a place that tells the university's story in a way that conveys its rich history and traditions along with its creativity, ingenuity, and innovation. It will be a place to showcase alumni, recognize donors, and inspire current and future students.
