Why Walk University of Oregon Campus
The University of Oregon's 295-acre campus in Eugene is one of the most heavily treed campuses in America, with over 3,000 trees representing 300 species. Deady Hall, an 1876 Second Empire building, is the oldest on campus and a National Historic Landmark. The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art houses strong Asian and contemporary collections. The Lillis Business Complex is one of the greenest academic buildings in the country. Hayward Field, rebuilt in 2020 as a world-class track and field venue, reflects Oregon's legendary running culture — alumni Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight co-founded Nike here. The Matthew Knight Arena, funded by Nike co-founder Phil Knight, houses Oregon basketball. The campus sits along the Millrace, a canal that once powered a flour mill.
