Knight Campus Building 2
Photos & Media Resources
Building 2 is part of the second phase of Knight Campus development, a 184,000-square-foot, multi-story bioengineering and applied science research facility. Designed by Portland-based ZGF Architects, it will double the campus’ capacity for research and development of new biomedical technologies with additional room for expanding academic programs, spin spaces to incubate new startup companies and a state-of-the-art new biocharacterization core facility. It will include the second of two Papé Family Innovation Center facilities, offering individual modules that companies can lease, and providing flexibility for different kinds of startup companies.
Overview
The Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact is the most dramatic change in the 140-year history of the University of Oregon.
