An online guide to the university's built environment, [http://libweb.uoregon.edu/guides/architecture/oregon Architecture of the University of Oregon] , published by the University of Oregon Libraries, describes campus buildings and provides timelines of key architectural events linked with campus history."
The Oregon Experiment "The university is known for being the site of a pioneering participatory planning experiment known as the
Oregon Experiment (which is also the subject of a book of the same name). The two major principles of the project are that buildings should be designed, in part, by the people who will ultimately use them (usually with the help of an 'architect facilitator'), and that construction should occur over many small projects (as opposed to a few large ones).List of buildings on campus
This list includes all buildings currently in use on the University of Oregon campus.
