Past Activity
U of O Ramble
-
Start date: 02/06/2025
-
Start time: 8:30 AM
Description:
University Park is at 24th and University. Access roads are flat so icy conditions should not be too much of an issue. The easiest parking is usually south, toward 25th St.
The walk will be modified as weather dictates. There are many indoor as well as outdoor places to visit.
There are several overlapping self-guided campus tours on the free U of O app. Tour topics include Trees, Buildings, Indigenous, Women’s and more. We will wander along some of their suggested routes.
Suggestions for those who want more background information: Google "Willamette meteorite" or "Gerlinger Lounge." Visit the Knight Library site at https://researchguides.uoregon.edu/historic-knight. For information about the Lillis Hall (business college) solar glass and other architectural technology, go to https://business.uoregon.edu/about/lillis-complex. Read the 2019 Eugene Weekly article eugeneweekly.com/2019/10/31/up-in-the-air. Numerous on-line articles cover the controversies surrounding The Pioneer statue. Wikipedia has a good summary.
It is OK to leave early or stay late.
For those who prefer public transportation, contact me and we can arrange to meet up somewhere on campus.
