University of Oregon embarks on construction boom

KATU
EUGENE, Ore. - The University of Oregon is embarking on the biggest growth spurt in its history, with construction projects totaling $100 million planned over the next few years.
More than half of the funding for the new buildings will come from the $410 million in construction money that legislators approved for the Oregon University system for the 2005-07 biennium. The rest comes from earlier appropriations and donations.

Projects in the works includes a new, $48 million College of education complex, $7.9 million for the Miller theater complex and two new halls at the Lillis business complex, a $6.6 million.

One of the more unusual projects will be the new center for the Oregon nanoscience and micro technologies Institute: plans call for the new building to be completely underground.

This is all great and everything except they're overlooking one little minor thing... PARKING
