UO Officials Seem to Know Little About $63 Million Athletics Building Going Up on Campus

By WW Staff

Work is underway on the expansion of an athletics building on the University of Oregon campus, only the latest edifice bankrolled by private donations for the university athletes. This time, UO officials claim they know little or nothing about the $63 million building.

But we do know more about it thanks to student journalists at UO. Sam Stites, the higher education reporter for the Oregon Daily Emerald, the student newspaper, found UO officials claiming they didn't know a lot about the expansion of the Casanova Center, located next to Autzen Stadium.
